GENERAL PROJECT

Burnhope Reservoir

Together with our supply partners Esh Stantec we plan to carry out operational maintenance works to Burnhope Reservoir, adjacent Wear Valley Water Treatment Works, this year. These works are needed to ensure the resilience of the reservoir. The work at Burnhope Reservoir, which has a project value of more than £1.8M is planned to start in July 2022.

Update by Rachel Rutter

Good Morning, 

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend!

Last week the crew worked with our specialist sub-contractor UTS and carried out the Hot Tap connection to the existing 800 diameter Water Treatment Works main supply.

Further commencement of scaffolding operations to MMM3 Bellmouth at the top of the reservoir in preparation of the actual remedial works which shall commence during this week, in conjunction of the afore mentioned we are continuously monitoring the reservoir levels daily whilst this work is carried out.

The team have accepted delivery of the interlocking sheet piles and locally reduced the existing ground levels around the chamber in preparation of the installation of the piles followed by the installation of the clay stank works itself.

If anyone would like to discuss our works in more detail, please feel free to contact us by commenting on this post or sending an email to nwl.customer@esh.uk.com.

Thank you

Rachel
