Crossrail Farringdon Eastern Ticket Hall Update We thank you for your patience whilst we continue with works as part of the Crossrail Farringdon station eastern ticket hall (the site bounded by Charterhouse Street, Lindsey Street, Long Lane and Hayne Street). Methods and hours of working: ‘Top down’ construction of the ticket hall continues deep within the shaft. By Easter, Level -3 will complete, followed by excavation to Level -4 and commencement of slab construction. Over the next six months, this process will repeat until the shaft is sunk to Level -7. Works are being carried out on a 24 hours per day, 7 days a week basis and are subject to the conditions of consent from the City of London, and are carefully planned to minimise noise. 24 hour operations are limited to the following: • Tunnel support grouting activities • Excavating material from the shaft • Casting concrete slabs • Core holes through the retaining wall on Barbican Station during LUL Engineering Hours (01:00 to 05:00) Extended hours (up to 19:00 Monday to Friday, 08:00 – 16:00 Saturday and Sunday): • Breaking and power tools are limited to core and extended hours Monday to Saturday • 24/7 permitted for slab construction on Sundays. Lorry Movements: Muck away will be restricted to 05:00 and midnight.
