Esh Winning Sewer

Northumbrian Water are working in your are to improve our sewer network to reduce the risk of pollution incidents in Esh Winning. The Esh Winning sewer runs in close proximity to the Priest Burn and, at times of heavy rainfall, it can present a risk of pollution to the river. The solution we identified to this includes the installation of a new pumping station in the field opposite South Terrace and a new pipeline along the main road into the sewage treatment works.

Update by Becky Gartland

Good afternoon all, 

Steve has very kindly provided me with your weekly update on how things have been progressing on site over this last week. 

Pumping Station Works Area adjacent to South Terrace

  • The flows were turned live as planned on Monday 31st January. The existing system is now running through our new system within the Pumping Station. Retroflo simultaneously set the pumps to the correct flow rates running through the Valve Chamber and the new Rising Main along to the Sewerage Treatment Works.
  • The concrete upstands to the Pumping Station and Wet Well have now been completed with the spring assisted covers installed and being secured ready for grouting.
  • Works have been taking place to set up footpaths and gravelled borders surrounding the Pumping Station and Valve Chamber ahead of topsoiling and landscaping works. 
  • Further works have been completed regarding the ground reprofiling in preparation for final topsoil operations taking place over the coming weeks. 
  • Work on the access road has continued, all kerbing works are complete and ready for surfacing works to take place on Monday 7th February to install the base layers. 

Hope you all have a lovely weekend!

Becky
