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.

Project updates

Update by Rachel Rutter

Good afternoon,

Hope you had a lovely weekend. 

Our site team have installed the stone access ramp to the Outlet Tunnel spillway with edge protection barriers/fencing along with the installation of the pedestrianised access stairway.  

They have also carried out further essential investigatory trial holes to further understand the alignment of existing assets, followed by continuing on with the excavation around the existing water treatment 800 dia supply main to the treatment works in preparation of the installation of the new pipework valves & concrete thrust restraints

We are expecting delivery of both the new Valves and the new 600 dia Ductile Iron pipework this week Monday/Tuesday ready for the install of the new Cross Connection works.

Good afternoon,

My name is Christine Taylor, the Customer Manager for Esh Stantec, the supply partner carrying out the works for Northumbrian Water.

We have arrived on site and set up our compound area within the reservoir boundary.

Stock proof fencing has been erected to segregate livestock from our working area.  We have excavated around the existing scour pipe and the existing water treatment 800 dia supply main to the treatment works in preparation of the installation of the new pipework valves and concrete thrust restraints.

The team have also carried out some temporary works in the form of installing a stoned ramp access to the outlet tunnel spillway in readiness to carry out the new proposed Outlet Tunnel foundations and associated new pipework.

In the upcoming week we are planning to excavate for the new 600 dia cross connection pipework from the existing Scour main to the existing Water treatment supply main in readiness to install the new pipework .
