The pipe jacked tunnel will be constructed in two drives. Both drives would be launched from a temporary sheeted pit at the location of Manhole D. One pipe jack will drive northwest circa 150m, through Manhole C and Manhole B under the HS2 Greatworth South cutting and the mainline trace into the 5m diameter Manhole A. The length of the first drive is dictated by the width of Greatworth South Cutting. The second drive will also be launched from Manhole D to a precast headwall element, 150m south-west, that will be placed in the temporary sheeted pits on completion of the pipe drive.
