Hi everyone,

I am happy to confirm reinstatement and Defect correction works are complete on this site and we have completely demobilised from site.

Regards

Chris Wilson

Hello everyone. I want to give you an update on the progress we have made at this pumping station. 

Our project is substantially complete. Our site teams have completed the works and demobilised from site. We need to plan our return to complete the reinstatement of the grass areas where we had our site compound, storage areas and access road.

We have temporarity cordoned off an area of the site to allow our landscpae contractor carry out the remaining reinstatement works.

The pumping station remained fully operational during our project. We need to arrange a date when it will be suitable to carry out the remaining snagging works at locations where we tied into the existing pumping station plant and equipment.

This photograph shows the pumping station building at the pedestrian walkway level. We have completed all planned works inside the pumping station. We need to finish off some minor snagging items at the pumping station. 

Hello everyone. In this update I want to tell you about the landscaping works we will be carying out in the next few weeks.

Our landscaping team will reinstate the area where we had our site cabins, storage areas and access road.

We will topsoil the area and level the ground to provide a good finished profile that ties into the adjacent levels. 

We will stone pick to remove any large stones before we till and seed the area.

Our site team will remove the barriers that we left in place after our compound, laydown area and access road were removed. The area will be returned to the local community.

Hello everyone. I want to update you on where we are on the Project at the Browns Point pumping station.

We have substantially completed the project and the pumping station is fully operational. We have some small works to finish off inside the pumping station.

We are finishing the final parts of the mechanical and electrical works. All of this works is inside the pumping station and our site team will not affect our neighbours.

We will be completing the installation of the metal works inside the station. This work is the installation of new metal flooring and placing some covers.

Our electricians will return and install some additional lighting.

Hello everyone. We successfully completed all the works at this station earlier. We will reinstate the compound area in the early spring and return this to our neighbours.

We will complete the reinstatement of the area in the spring.

We will re-seed the area shown in this photograph.

This project was completed with minimal disruption to our neighbours and the many people that visit this lovely part of the North East coastline each week.

Hello. This is a quick update on the works we completed at the Browns Point pumping station.

The MEICA, civils and accomodation works at the site are complete.

We have removed the site compound and we will carry out the landscaping works when the weather improves in the spring.

The works were completed without affecting our neighbours or the people that walk along the nearby pedestrian routes. This was a tremendous achievement.

We achieved the project objectives and have handed this station back to Northumbrian Water.

Hello everyone. I've got some good news to share. We have substantially completed all of the works and we have removed our site compound.

The site team has removed the site access raod and reinstated the ground.

We will return to this site in the early spring to re-seed the area. It is too cold at the moment to carry out these works.

The Interserve site team carried out all of the site works including the station shut downs without affecting the pedestrian walkways along this part of the north east coastline. Members of the public had uninteruppted access to the walkways during the duration of the works.

We have cordoned off the area where the compound and the access road was. This is because the ground is very wet and soft. This ground will be re-seeded in the spring and the cones and rope will be removed.

Hello. I want to share the good progress we have made over the last couple of weeks. We have completed the MEICA works.

We completed most of the works with the station operational.

We successfully completed works with 12 system shutdowns.

We will complete the metal works and landscaping works early next year.

We will remove the site compound and cabins in December 2020

Hello. Interserve has completed the main works at the Browns Point station near Cullercoats.

Our compound was located off the main road close to the station entrance. This was to minimise any disturbance to our nieghbours and visitors to this popular part of the north east coast.

We observed all of the NHS recommendations during the works. We had sanitising stations in our compound. 

The main works are all complete and the team is moving to our next project not too far away.

We separated our works area from the nearby houses.

In today's update, I would like to tell you how we are managing the covid risk on site. We are following the NHS advice "wash hands, cover face, make space."

The site team take the temperature of all persons that arrive on site. This photo shows the hand held device that is used to take the body temperature of people arriving on site. 

We have set up one way pedestrian routes on site to ensure social distancing. This also stops people from crossing each others paths.

We have set up a works area exclusion zone to stop people inadvertently walking onto site.

Progress on site is good and we are on programme with our scheduled shutdowns.
