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 afternoon 

The team are continuing with the pipework installations as well as continuing to backfill operations to pipe work previously installed.

Due to the weather conditions over the last couple of weeks not being on our side this has slowed site progress; earthworks operations have had to cease due to the bad weather conditions and the ground now being too wet to continue.

The team endeavour to continue through to achieve their programme of works.

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.

Have a great weekend!
