  • Rising main pump plinth 2 reinforcement installed and concrete has been poured.
  • Rising main 2 Stainless Steel suction pipework installed
  • Rising main 1 Stainless Steel inlet pipework installed
  • Storm tank footpath and aco drainage constructed.
  • Inlet channel cored through to confirm reinforcement depth, good news no change to our current design required.
  • Prepped road and chambers ready for final road pour this week.

We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy and Healthy 2025.

Good morning everyone, 

I hope you are well.

I'd firstly like to introduce myself, my name is Bethany Oakley and I am a Customer Liaison Officer for Mott MacDonald Bentley (MMB). 

We're planning some work in your area so I thought I'd provide an update. Our work is due to commence from 21 October 2024 and will last for approximately 9 months. However, as with all construction projects, unexpected delays can sometimes occur.

This will require the use of some heavy vehicles and it’s likely that you will notice an increase in heavy vehicle movement whilst our work is in progress. Given the location of the existing treatment works, we don’t expect significant disruption, however, there may be a noticeable increase in construction traffic in the area during the construction period.

Should you wish to ask us some questions or raise any concerns, please add a comment in the box below and a member of the Project Team will respond.

Kind regards,

Bethany
