Good Afternoon,

I thought I would pop on and say hello, and give you an update on how work is progressing on site.

The new Motor Control Centre (MCC) base walls are ongoing with the concrete pour planned this week. Once this has been completed, we will then be able to backfill externally of the structure and progress the superstructure.

The tertiary area earthworks and access road are now complete allowing us to commence the civils infrastructure.

Over the next few weeks our planned works are as followed:-

1. Demolition of the existing inlet screen, we will be installing a temporary bypass to maintain the flow into the works, this then allows us to easier erect the MCC building and complete the associated works around.

2. Demolition of the abandoned inlet channel, this will allow us to construct the proposed new inlet works over the coming months.

I have added some photos of what has been happening on site since the last update.

If you have any questions, please feel free to leave a comment below.

Thanks everyone,

Gaby

I thought id give you a quick update following my return from annual leave, progess works are continuing as follows:-

• MCC building - continue the base construction, our first concrete pour is planned for tomorrow and this will allow the walls to be constructed to bring us up out of the ground.
• Earthworks to the new tertiary plant area and the continuation of the site access road, stone fill & regarding is continuing and we have wagons due over the next few days bringing further aggregates in and then Monday 13th September to remove the broken out concrete from the existing bases that we have stockpiled.
• Existing Humus tanks, these are currently being stripped & cleaned out to refurbish and will be used as a future asset.

Deliveries are continuing over the next few weeks with concrete stone and other general materials.

I have attached some photographs for information shoud they be of interest.

Good evening

I thought id give you a quick update of this weeks activities on site as follows:-

1. Earthworks have continued to excavate the mound area to where the new tertiary plant will be located, we have removed quite a bit of material from this area so it has taken somewhat a different shape from what was previously there, we will be continuing with this operation for another week to start forming the new stone road & formation ready for the new slabs.

2. We have carried out the diversion of an existing water main feed into the works which was located under the footprint of the proposed new MCC building, next week in this area we will be commencing the large excavation to construct the reinforced base & walls, this will take a few weeks to complete in this particular location of the site.

Please note that next week will see some activity with wagon movements into and out of the site delivering merchant materials, shoring and concrete so expect to see an increase in wagons in the area.

Finally myself and Gabby our liason officer paid a visit to the proprietor of Eleanors Byre nearby the Sewerage works to discuss the works that we are carrying out, i must say we really enjoyed the latte with Banana & Blueberry cake, if your in the area i highly recommend you try it.

I hope you have a great weekend and have attached a couple of photos for your interest

Good Morning,

Following on from Paul's introduction, I thought I'd take this opportunity to introduce you to our Mott Macdonald Bentley Team.

I am Gaby Ward, I will be taking over the role as Customer Liaison Officer and I will be taking care of all customer enquiries during the project. You'll also notice that I will be posting updates on here, so please feel free to contact me via the portal using the comment section below, or the "Contact Us" button at the top of the page. I will be out and about in the area as well, so please feel free to come and say hello if you see me.

Jason Bradley is our Contract Manager who will be managing the project, then we have Kevin McGargle our Site Agent who will manage the day to day operations along with our Works Manager, Simon Finlayson. Jason, Kevin and Simon have many years of experience in the construction industry and we all have worked on various projects together with Northumbrian Water.

I have included our photos below so you can put faces to names.

We will provide you with regular updates throughout, if in the meantime, you have any questions please don’t hesitate to ask.

Finally, I would just like to thank you for your support so far. The team and I are looking forward to working in your community.

Good morning,

I'm pleased to confirm that construction work to upgrade Embleton treatment works will begin on Monday 19 July 2021 and expect the work to take up to 10 months to complete, however, as with all large-scale construction projects, unexpected delays can sometimes occur.

The sewerage treatment works is located to the south of Embleton village adjacent to Spitalford Bridge. Given the location of the existing treatment works, we don’t expect significant customer disruption, however, there may be a noticeable increase in construction traffic through surrounding villages between the A1 and our site during the construction period.

Advanced traffic management signs will be erected along the Embleton to Craster road alerting road users of construction work. While the vast majority of construction plant and deliveries can access and leave the site without impacting on traffic movements, there may be occasions when we will need to use ‘stop / go’ controls to safely access the site with abnormal loads.

Please be assured that we are working closely with our partners to do all that we can to minimise any disruption to you and your community throughout the work. Typical working hours will be Monday to Friday, between 8.00am and 5.00pm.

Regards Paul
