GENERAL PROJECT

Castle Eden Dene Sewer

The project will reduce the risk of flooding and pollution in Castle Eden Dene by providing additional capacity in the sewer network in the Sunny Blunts area of Peterlee.

Update by Sarah Jayne Parvin

Good afternoon, time for the first update of 2023!

We are making great progress despite the cold weather since my last update. The Northern section of the pipework has been installed from the Dene, around the cricket pitch and into our site compound area.

At the southern section, the tank area is ready for the storage pipes to start to be installed. This will be complete in 3 sections, and will involve excavation, prep and pour concrete base, lay pipe, and backfill. This process will happen 3 times in total. The reason this has been sequenced this way is due to being at full capacity in the spoil storage space, and we don’t want to remove spoil off site to return once complete. So rather than fully excavate within the frame, we have removed a 3rd of the spoil, and will relocate it to where the pipe has been installed as we progress.

We have included a couple of pictures below which show the work carried out this month.  

If you have any questions please comment below and one of the team will be in touch.

Thanks 

Sarah
