question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether his Department has (a) identified and (b) received representations on the problems during the construction of the listed Alexandra and Ainsworth estate which led to (a) additional costs and (b) unique foundations being used to stabilise its buildings.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/12/2018 answer text <p>Yes. HS2 Ltd has identified that part of the Alexandra and Ainsworth Estate is built on piled foundations. As the planned tunnel is approximately 40m deep at this location, there is no risk of the piles intersecting the tunnel. The significant depth also means the ground movement and differential settlement at the surface is likely to be small. A Phase 1 green field ground movement assessment and a Phase 2 ground movement has been undertaken along the route. As these buildings are listed, there will also be a phase 3 assessment, which will take account of the unique features of the building and its foundations.</p><p> </p><p>HS2 Ltd has received no representations on these issues.</p> answering member constituency Wealden answering member printed Ms Nusrat Ghani question first answered 21/12/2018 12:32:00 answering member 4460 label Biography information for Ms Nusrat Ghani

In practice the experience of driving tunnels on Crossrail and HS1 in similar ground conditions demonstrates that the tunnels will be driven to a lower volume loss resulting in less movement. The tunnel boring machines specified for HS2 are high performance machines designed to minimise ground movement at source. This means there should be no need for the mitigations referred to.</p> answering member constituency Wealden answering member printed Ms Nusrat Ghani question first answered 21/12/2018 15:32:18 answering member 4460 label Biography information for Ms Nusrat Ghani

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/12/2018 answer text <p>A geotechnical baseline report (GBR) is a contractual document that defines what the Contractor has to allow for in his price. The actual geotechnical parameters from HS2 project ground investigations have been and are being used for the assessment of “all” buildings impacted by the works including potential ground movements associated with excavations and to assess, in the rare event, any necessary remedial measures.
