What is a vent shaft?
A vent shaft, or ventilation
shaft is a vertical opening that
connects the tunnels to the
surface and open air. It uses
fans situated in the fan house
to regulate air quality and
temperature in the tunnels,
provides access for emergency
services and allows smoke to
be extracted in the event of a
fire.

Headhouse Access Point
Lighting Zones
We will be illuminating various zones
throughout the site with a mixture of
lighting fixtures. When the site is
unoccupied these lights will emit a low
dim. This will increase in the following
situations:
- emergencies, when switched on
locally/remotely,
- when vehicles are manoeuvring
- upon gate opening
- when intrusion is detected to aid
enhanced CCTV surveillance.Examples of wall wash feature lighting

SCSJV will be engaging with St Mary’s School to
discuss possible landscaping opportunities for
the ‘’pocket park’’ area of the site. Some of the
topics to be discussed are as follows:

• Sensory garden – edible species, aromatic
herbs, contrasts, planting with texture The pocket park is

• Green wall to reduce air pollution
• Construction views through the hoarding
• Interactive opportunities for playWe would like to hear from you

Our lorry routes
Our lorry routes have been agreed with Brent Council. We will use the most suitable routes between our worksite and the Transport for London Road
Network (TLRN). You can find out more at HS2inKilburn-Northolt.co.uk
Construction traffic
Construction of the vent shaft and headhouse will have varied periods of construction activity. During phases of high activity on site, such as piling,
excavation and construction of the shaft, there will be a corresponding increase in heavy goods vehicle (HGV) movements. There will also be periods
during construction where the need for HGV movements will be lower.How to find out more and have your say
