Good afternoon, Everyone, Looks like that is it for our so called Summer, I hope you have all had a lovely one and looking forward to the autumn months ahead. It has been a while since my last update, so I thought I would just touch base with on how we are getting on in Horsley. Work on site is going well. We're almost done setting up the new filters, so temporary equipment can be removed soon. We've started working on the pre-dosing system, with only a few tasks left to complete. Preparation for the new chlorine contact tank has also started, which includes checking underground pipes, moving lights, and doing a trial to help finalize the design. We would like to thank you for all your continued co-operation and patience while the works are ongoing, if you have any questions or issues please leave a comment below or use the contact details provided and one of the team will get back to you. thank you Julie

Good evening everyone, Works within the Peareth Hall Road closure have progressed well since last week's update. This week, a temporary pedestrian/cyclist access through the closure will be maintained from Tuesday to Thursday at peak times, between  07:45 - 09:15 & 15:00 - 16:15. We plan to fully reopen the road and one of the footpaths this Friday evening, following on with restoring the second footpath soon afterwards. We will continue to keep you regularly updated and thank you for your continued patience.  Richard Johnston Project Manager 

Good afternoon and happy Monday! I hope you all had a great weekend. Following my last update, I wanted to provide some information that I think will be beneficial to you once we commence with the works. Bin Collection If you can kindly leave your bins out, as you would normally, our Site Team will take them to the available collection point. In the unfortunate event that a bin collection is missed, please don’t worry, our Site Team will ensure your bin is emptied in our onsite skip. Traffic Management As you are aware, during the time of the works, we will have road closures and Traffic Management in place. Outside of working hours and weekends and the unlikely possibility of any issues occurring, there will be information readily available to you on the fencing to the works, for the Traffic Management Company. General Queries Should you have any questions or general queries, the Team will be onsite and would be happy to answer any of those questions you have. Alternatively, you can add a comment on the portal page below one of our updates and a member of the Project Team will respond as soon as possible. At present, we are unable to provide you with an exact start date however we are working hard to ensure that this can be achieved as soon as possible. Take care and have a great week! Bethany

Herras fencing remains in place to protect the new grass seeded area Yarm School playing field has been reinstated, with the car park all cleared and all fencing removed from site.

Hello Everyone, As indicated last week we will have a temporary safe pedestrian/cyclist route constructed through the road closure for the start of the new school term tomorrow, Thursday 5th September. Whilst our pipelaying works continue in this area the temporary footpath will be operating on a peak time basis. The safe access route will be open and monitored by our site staff from the morning of Thursday 5th September through the weekend (where our work will continue) into the evening of Monday 9th September, taking into account some of the comments we received, the access route will be available from 07:45 - 9:15 and again in the afternoon 15:00 - 16:15. The temporary footpath will not be accessible outside of these timescales. We will update further on site progress next Monday on arrangements for the rest of the week. Again, Thank you for your continued patience whilst we undertake these works.     Richard Johnston Project Manager

Hi Everyone I hope you have had a great summer As an update, we have been working through the final design for the essential refurbishment works to our underground Sewerage Pumping Station (SPS) at Warkworth Stanners and will soon be in a position to advise on dates we are due to start works and any restrictions we will have in place, which we hope to keep to a minumum. In the meantime, if you have any queries or comments or would like to speak to someone from the project team please get in touch using the ‘Contact us’ button at the top of the page. We’d really like to hear from you.  

Morning All. Time for another update on Hexham STW Refurb: The installation of the new inlet works continues to progress well. All mechanical elements are now in place and the electrical installation is underway. Once this is complete there will be some final adjustments to the open mesh flooring, to account for the changes thing like isolator stands will require, before they are sent away to be regalvanised. The distribution chamber waterproofing has now been completed and all the open mesh access flooring reinstated. There is a small amount of block work to complete to fully isolate the mothballed filters and some instruments to re-install, but the works are largely complete in this area. Over-pumping will be removed in the coming day or two. Minor civils works are continuing around the inlet works to construct new footpaths before we start working on the turning head and crane pad later in the week. These will provide vehicular access for maintenance to the new inlet works. The inlet works ductile iron pipework has been on hold whilst new support brackets are fabricated but it should be complete this week. Thanks for taking the time to read the update. Dave Eden
