Good afternoon the area on Green Lane that we used for the remote site compound has now been cultivated. Typically, germination takes between five and 10 days. Once germinated, the grass will continue to grow at a rate of about 2/3cm per week.

Thanks

Good Morning it's been several months since we demobilised the site from Green Lane, Old Elvet. We mentioned that we had top soiled the compound area and would return spring to complete the seeding. We are waiting for the weather to improve before we come and revisit this. Hoping for a couple of weeks of dry weather to pop along and finish off work.

We will keep you posted and let you know once this is complete.

In the meantime, if you have any questions, please comment below.

Thanks

Sarah

Good afternoon I hope you are well.

Since we returned from our festive shut down on the 4^th January, we have been working on some of the final bits ready for completion. Due to the poor weather conditions, progress has been a little slower than planned. After a couple of cancellations due to the poor forecast, tonight from 8 pm we will be resurfacing at Elvet Waterside then move onto Freemans Place, both locations will reopen at 6 am.  

We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your patience and understanding while we have been carrying out this essential work.

Thanks

Walkergate there are final reinstatements to complete which will also be carried out overnight starting the evening of the 6^th January, again a road closure will be in place overnight.

We will keep you update of our progress in the new year.

Good afternoon all, quick post to confirm that we will be resurfacing Old Elvet tomorrow and Monday, this will be the stretch of road outside of The County Hotel.

Once its complete we will be able to remove the traffic management.

Good morning all,  after my site visit yesterday, its time to give you a quick update as to where we are and what we have coming up.

Along Old Elvet most of the pipe work and Manhole construction is complete, there is one final excavation we need to do, which is to tie in the highways gully outside of the TA building, to our new system. This is quite a tricky part as there are several services in the trench, we need to dig. All being well this will be complete mid next week in time for our resurfacing sub-contractor to reinstate the road surface along Old Elvet. The resurfacing should not have too much of an impact as it will not exceed the boundary we already have in place and will be under the same traffic management arrangement as we are now. As well as this section of resurfacing we also need to do permanent resurfacing to Elvet Waterside which will see a couple of the parking spaces blocked of for the day. The whole of the resurfacing works will be 2 days and is likely to start on Wednesday or Thursday next week. 

At Walkergate things are on plan and work on the riverside continues at the CSO. There will be further overnight road closures which are likely to be for 2 nights week commencing 14th December. Once I have further information ill will confirm these dates.

Good afternoon

I hope you are well and managing in Lockdown 2. Our work is essential so whilst the pandemic is ongoing, so are our teams.

Old Elvet Storage

Work has progressed well, and we are almost at the final hurdle on Old Elvet. All the storage pipes are installed outside the County Hotel, new manholes 1 and 3 have been constructed, no 2 will be started towards the middle of next week and take around 6 days to complete. This bit will be quite tricky as its on top of an existing culvert.

As well at the construction of manhole 2 over the next couple of weeks, we need complete work such as tying in the highway gully’s, installing safety metal work into the manholes before the new system can go live.

Once that’s all done, we have some tidying up to in the area, including replacing the traffic island outside of Hotel Indigo, permanent reinstatement between Territorial Lane and New Elvet and finally the white lining and road markings on that stretch of road. Once we have confirmation of the resurfacing dates, we will communicate these.

Walkergate

Our latest update mentioned overnight working to carry out some of the tasks. We would like to confirm most of the overnight work is complete and went as planned. We do however have some further overnight work planned towards mid-December to carry out work such as, the permanent resurfacing of the area. As before we will communicate this by letter to the affected properties.

This week work has started on the construction of the CSO at the river side, the concrete is being poured this week for the structure. Over the next couple of weeks, they will be working on the completion of the CSO and tying everything together before the system goes live.

Towards the back end of the programme, the last couple of weeks before Christmas we will be completing activities such as removing our working platforms off the riverside, reimporting materials  and topsoil to bring the riverside back to its original level, reinstating footpaths and getting the original fencing put back up.

Please don’t hesitate to get in touch at SarahJayne.vickers@jnbentley.co.uk or  us the contact us link at the top of this page and one of the project team will get back to you.

Thank you.

Sarah

Good afternoon all, we communicated last week that we would be carrying out night shift work WC 19^th October for 5 nights at Freemans Place. This has now been cancelled, and we will inform you when we have a new date.

Apologies for any inconvenience this may cause.

Good afternoon all, a further update regarding our work in Durham.

Old Elvet Storage

After the delay in the pipes getting delivered work has progressed very well, you will see our barriers along Old Elvet after the traffic lights, which are currently restricting the access to the front car park to The County Hotel, this is whilst we install our storage pipe across their entrance. The restriction will be removed once we are clear of that section, expected to be towards the back end of next week. So far, we have installed 16.5m of pipe and have another 41m to install, which could hold approximately 14,300 gallons of water, which is on average 350 bath full's. We are on track for this work to be complete by the end of November.

Walkergate

We successfully held our first overnight road closures last week at Freemans Place, whilst we worked to install our pipework around some live services in the ground. This will require further nightshift working next week, starting on Monday 19^th for 5 nights, to complete this section of the pipe work.

The tunneling sub-contractor is starting onsite this week for up to 3 weeks, to tunnel towards the Combined Sewer Outfall (CSO).

We appreciate our work can be disruptive and the team would like to thank everyone for your continued patience and understanding whilst the essential works are being complete.

Please don’t hesitate to get in touch at SarahJayne.vickers@jnbentley.co.uk or alternatively us the contact us link at the top of this page.
