GENERAL PROJECT

Belford Street, Peterlee

At Northumbrian Water looking after the environment and reducing the risk of flooding are two of our top priorities. As part of this commitment we want to make you aware of some sewerage network investigations in your area. We intend to carry out a study of the area to identify a potential solution to help protect the environment and ensure that our sewer network continues to serve the community effectively.

Project updates

Update by Becky Gartland

Good afternoon, 

Following my previous post I just wanted to provide you with an update regarding the planned road closure at the end of Belford Street. 

Our site team are currently working through difficult ground conditions within the current working area between Kilburn Drive and Belford Street. As a result of this the road closure due to start tomorrow will now be pushed back to next week. We anticipate the closure to be in place within the next 7 working days following completion of groundworks within the grassed embankment area. 

If you have any queries or concerns at all, please let us know. I will provide a further update once we have confirmation on when the closure can be expected to be in place. 

Thank you 

Becky

Good afternoon all, 

Work is currently progressing well within the grassed embankment area between Kilburn Drive and Belford Street. Our site team have constructed 2 new manhole chambers as well as installing the pipework linking them together. Works have also been carried out within the site compound area to install the backdrop pipework within the exisiting shaft.  

Over the next week we will be reducing the embankment and further installing pipework towards Belford Street. 

From Thursday 10 February we will be moving onto Belford Street which will result in a road closure at the end alongside the grass verge. This section of work is expected to take up to 2 weeks to complete.  

If you have any queries regarding this next section of work, please do not hesitate to contact us, 

I hope you all have a lovely weekend!

Thanks

Good afternoon everyone and Happy New Year!

I hope you all had a lovey time celebrating over the Christmas period. 

Our site team recommenced works earlier this week and are continuing with the pipework installation on Kilburn Drive. The works area will be extended across the rear of the embankment from Kilburn Drive towards Belford Street over the coming few days in order to progress with the installation of pipework. 

Looking ahead into next week this area of work will continue along with operations taking place within the existing shaft to modify the structure in preparation for internal pipework to be installed within the bottom of the shaft. 

As always if you have any queries regarding our work, please do not hesitate to contact me. 

Thank you

Good morning, 

I just thought I would pop on and provide you all with a quick update on hows things are going on site. 

Last week the site team continued with the installation of shoring and pipework within the carriageway crossing Kilburn Drive. The work on this section is taking longer than originally anticipated therefore the two-way traffic lights will remain in operation at this location until Friday 17th December 2021. Work will continue to progress here over the coming weeks and we will provide further updates in due course. 

If you have any queries or concerns regarding our works in your area, please do not hesitate to contact us. 

Thank you 

Becky

Good afternoon,

Just a short update again this week, to let everyone know that the site team are continuing with the excavation and installation of drainage across Kilburn Drive. The team are taking their time, due to the amount of services in the ground, and the depth of which they are working.

We will aim to update you next week.
