Borehole drilling will take place on campus using 30 ft drilling rigs and necessitating the use of large lorries.

Services to be interrupted

Car park out of use and some noise. General day-to-day access to Henry Price will be uninterrupted.

Effects of this interruption upon building occupants

A large element of the University’s pathway to delivering Net Zero by 2030 – a principle of the Climate Plan – is the decarbonisation of heat across campus. This work is to explore the ability to deliver subsurface heat through geothermal energy.

From Monday 29th January – Friday 31st May, there will be work cabins in the car park at the University Road end of Henry Price and in the car park area near Cemetery Road. Large lorries will deliver equipment to these areas several times a day until Tuesday 5th March which may block the roads leading to the car parks and also create noise. Lorries delivering fuel and collecting spoil will be accessing the sites throughout the work.

From Monday 5th Feb, drilling will take place at the site in front of Henry Price Residences, i.e. the car park area off Clarendon Road. This is expected to take five days and will take place between 10am-5pm on weekdays. This will be followed by drilling in the other two car parks near Henry Price until approximately mid-April, all day Monday to Friday, 10am-5pm. Material movements will occur between the car parking areas.

After the drilling, water will be pumped out for three weeks so there will be the noise of a generator.
From mid-February onwards there will be a pipe of 6 inch diameter running across the back of Henry Price, joining up the two holes. This pipe will run over the grass where there are benches and tables.

The car park will be closed from Monday 29th January till mid-April 24.

Cabins on site: 29 Jan – 31 May
Drilling takes place: 5 Feb – 1 Mar
Location: Henry Price Residences car park area near Cemetery Road

This site will include the contractor’s facilities such as welfare cabins that will remain throughout the work, as well as the location of an ‘open loop’ well. Drilling for this will take place between 5 Feb and 1 Mar, and will only take place between 10am-5pm on weekdays.

 

Cabins on site: 8 Feb – 14 Feb
Location: In front of Henry Price Residences car park area off Clarendon Road

This site will be for drilling a ‘thermal response’ borehole. Drilling for this is expected to take a few days, and will only take place between 10am-5pm on weekdays.

 

Cabins on site: 5 Feb – 12 Apr
Location: Car park at University Road end of Henry Price Residences

This site will include some contractor facilities and is the location of drilling for both a ‘pilot’ well and ‘open loop’ well. Drilling will only take place between 10am-5pm on weekdays.

 

 

Cabins on site: 15 Feb – 23 Feb
Location: Mechanical Engineering service yard car park area

Large lorries will deliver equipment to this area during the initial site set-up. Lorries delivering fuel and water and collecting spoil will be accessing the site throughout the work, leading to some noise.

The car park as identified below, will be closed from Thursday 15th February to Friday 23rd February.

Ground investigation activities will be undertaken at Spen Farm at locations labelled ‘Energy Pile Opt A’ and ‘Energy Pile Opt B’ on the below image between Monday 26th February and Friday 1st March, from 8am until dusk.

 

These investigations are to determine ground conditions in these locations. Once complete, there will be an inspection chamber (manhole) cover raised on a low plinth however this should not be conspicuous. There are two GI locations for each of the two sites.

Every effort will be made to avoid disruption, however there will be some noise during the activities. Please note that there will be a preliminary excavation activity taking place which will determine the scope of the full GI activities to take place over the course of the week. Following this initial investigation, it is expected that only one of the two sites will see the remaining GI activities.

Reason for works/service interruption

Academic research into the geothermal response of shallow boreholes

Effects of this interruption upon building occupants
