Routine Investigation Works at Oldbury Road

National Grid own the former gasworks site off Oldbury Road in Tewkesbury and are about to undertake routine investigations to ensure they have the most up to date information on the condition of the land. The land is sat behind the Tewkesbury Community Fire Station on Oldbury Road, alongside Gas Alley next to Travis Perkins.

The works will begin on Monday 20 June 2022 and involve drilling boreholes and trial pits to collect soil samples. Their specialist contractor, Englobe, will aim to complete this work by the end of June. Englobe’s working hours will be 8am to 5pm Monday to Friday. Once this work is complete, Englobe will visit the site approximately two times over the following weeks in order to complete follow-up sampling.

Once Englobe are on site there shouldn’t be any disruption from the work, nor will it interrupt residents gas or electricity supply.

If you’d like to attend a virtual meeting to meet the project team and discuss our work in further detail, please call our community relations team on 0800 319 6165 between 9am and 5pm Monday to Friday.
