Pile driving near Vanguard alongside the A40

I wonder if anyone out there in 'EalingToday land' knows anything about the pile driving works that have recently started up between the A40 and Perivale East Bus Garage (the garage adjoining Vanguard's site)?There's a yellow jib crane lifting whacking great long steel sheet piling, which is then being driven into the ground. I've trawled around the web but can't find anything about it on Ealing Council's planning website and can't readily see where to look on the Highways Agency, if it's something to do with the A40, or the Environment Agency, if it's to do with the River Brent.Also recently, what appears to be a safety guardrail has been installed on the roof of the existing bus garage building - does anyone know if any building development is going on there?Hoping you can help.Best regardsRICHARD BRITTLEBANK - resident in Brunswick Road

Thanks for that but I've had another trawl and the pile driving we have going on opposite us in Brunswick Road is I believe, a hydrogen refuelling facility for the Metroline Depot Alperton Lane Perivale Middlesex UB6 8DH per https://pam.ealing.gov.uk/online-applications/applicationDetails.do?keyVal=PU7KTQJMLLP00&activeTab=summaryI can't find any reference to piling works in the planning application docs. but looking at drg. no. 19004_PL09 I assume it's to do with:New retaining structure to SE detailed design and specification.

It's a ventilation shaft for HS2, see: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/529476/C221-MMD-CV-DPP-010-202100-FPD.pdf
