Escomb Rising Main

Project to replace a failing pumping main from Escomb Pumping Station to Etherley Moor.

Update by Sarah Jayne Parvin

Good morning All, Happy New Year and hope you all enjoyed the festive holidays.

Quick update to keep you all in the loop of what we have been up to and what we have planned over the coming weeks. 

All the directional drilling works (trench-less excavation) have been completed and tested. For us to carry out the directional drilling we need to dig out Launch and reception pits, these are large excavations where we start the drilling and where we are drilling the pipe through to, which are all now backfilled.

Over the coming weeks we are installing the scaffolding to the bridge, which will allow us to install the pipework to the underside of the bridge. This will then be followed by painting the pipe, connecting the pipe and carrying out pressure testing.

The most important thing to add all this work is carried out to the highest safety standards with the public and work force always front of mind.

We would like to thank you all for your patience! As always if you have any questions please use the contact us function at the top of the page.

Thanks
