Site investigations and geotechnical work will be carried out on the school grounds to obtain information on ground conditions to help inform the next phase of the project
Surveying the site, digging test pits, and drilling boreholes to assess soil and rock composition
A large excavator and drill rig will be in operation, generating intermittent noise
From Monday 7 July
Installation of temporary fencing to establish the site, including timber hoarding, mesh, and gates to prevent public or school access and reduce disruption to the school community
