Hypoxic ground gas is rarely reported in London despite its frequent occurrence in the Upnor Formation and the serious health and safety implications for underground working. The death of two engineers by asphyxiation and recent interception of pressurised hypoxic gas by two ground investigation boreholes highlight the urgent need for research into this hazard which until now has been extremely limited. This presentation summarises the risks associated with hypoxic ground gas, the research carried out to date and recommendations for future construction work in the Lambeth Group.
