Esh Stantec will be working this weekend on Saturday 15 March 2025. Working hours will be between 8.00am and 1.00pm. Typically the crew work Monday to Friday and work required to be carried out over the weekend would be by exception and we will keep residents updated if this is required.  It is inevitable that there will be some disruption in the immediate vicinity, but please be assured that we will do our best to minimise any inconvenience to you.

Good morning, Everyone, hope you are all looking forward to the lighter nights and warmer weather. I thought it was that time of the month to provide you with an update on the progress we have made here on Felton treatment works. We have now installed the second new screen for the inlet works, we are also progressing with the installation of the pumps and pipework for the Humus settlement tank (HST) desludge slab which is the secondary treatment process and the new penstocks have been completed successfully, along with the flowmeter and pipework which controls the water flow. I would like to thank you all for your continued patience while the works continue but if you have any issues or queries please leave a comment below or use the details provided to contact us and one of the team will be happy to help. thanks Julie

Morning all, Good progress is being made at our Scripton Bridge site near Brandon, where we are carrying out work on the strategic transfer mains network. The work on site is focused on improving the resilience in the network and centres around the installation of a flow meter and electronically operated valve; these instruments all designed to facilitate remote management of the water flow to the surrounding areas. Last week, the site hosted a visitor, Sally Johnson, who delivers the Programme for Schools within the Durham Works team.  Our site agent, Steve Swinburne, talked to Sally about the skills and qualities we look for in young people who are interested in a career in construction and civil engineering, as well as giving her an insight into the work we’re doing here and the realities of working in this interesting and challenging sector.    We also spoke to Apprentice Engineer, Ryan Crawford, about his experiences of working and learning with Farrans Construction.  Ryan is pictured above with Karen Alexander, Farrans Social Value Co-ordinator (left) and Sally Johnson of Durham Works (right). Afterwards, Sally said the visit has improved her knowledge and understanding of the sector, which will certainly improve her ability to advise and guide young people in their career choices.   Kind regards Karen Alexander Farrans’ Stakeholder and Social Value Co-ordinator

Good afternoon, Everyone, I bet you are all pleased we are entering the lighter nights and hopefully some better and improved weather!! Its been a while so I thought I would let you know what has been happening on the project at Ovingham, we have made some good progress on site even though the weather has been against us somedays, we have been working hard on the upstream cofferdam over the past month, this is an enclosure built within a body of water to allow the enclosed area to be pumped out or drained which then creates a dry working environment so that the work can be carried out safely. we have excavated it to formation level, Installed the stone, as well as installing concrete blinding, rebar and concrete base. Going forward over the next few months this we will be carrying this same operation to install the downstream cofferdam and concrete base. We are also using our crane to assist NWG with the pump replacements. In the  meantime if you have any issues or questions please leave a comment below or use the details provided to contact us and one of the team will be happy to help. thanks Julie
