Notice of works affecting Worthing Promenade – 3-day trial hole excavation
As part of developing a heat network, it is sometimes necessary to dig trial holes to ensure no unexpected utilities cables and pipework will be affected by future works. In this instance, Hemiko will be carrying out limited works on Worthing Promenade from 10-12 March 2025.
What works are taking place on Worthing Promenade?
Excavation works will be taking place on two small sections of Worthing Promenade between Monday 10 March and Wednesday 12 March 2025. The works will take place between 8am and 7pm, and will involve digging two trial holes, which are small sections of road that must be removed and assessed by our staff. These holes will then be reinstated to their usual condition by the morning of 13 March 2025. One set of works will take place directly adjacent to K66 Surf Shop, whilst the other will take place near Tree House Timber on Worthing Promenade.
A small area of the Promenade will be cordoned off during the excavation works, which will leave slightly less space for pedestrians and cyclists on the path. Whilst access to the Promenade will be unaffected, we encourage cyclists to dismount when passing the works areas and for pedestrians to remain mindful of one another. There will be no change to the operation or opening hours of the K66 Surf shop or any other businesses on Beach Parade during the works.
Hemiko will be working hard to keep disruption to an absolute minimum – we are working closely with West Sussex County Council and Worthing Borough Council to coordinate our works.
Health, safety and accessibility
The health and safety of local residents and our staff is a top priority. We will be installing safety fencing around the site, to keep everyone safe. We have undertaken health and safety assessments of the works and will continue to do these throughout.
If you are a resident of the road with accessibility requirements or vulnerability, please let us know on 01903 337364 or by emailing us and we would be happy to meet with you to discuss your needs, and ensure safe access is always available to your property or place of work.
