Hello again. The site team at Horsley has achieved another milestone. We received our first bulk chemical deliveries.

This is a tremendous achievement. The site team can progress the testing and commissioning works.

These photos show the delivery vehicles on site.

Some of the silos adjacent to the chemical building and the actiflow building have received chemicals.

The site team are preparing for the next phase of deliveries. Progress on site is good.

Hello. We have carried out a lot of work in November. The project is making very good progress.

The cladding to the new building have been installed.

The external cabinets are being fitted out. 

The works at the southern end of the site are progressing well.

The external steelwork in the sludge area is complete.

In this update I want to concentrate on the interface between the existing and the new parts of the treatment works. There is a lot of work being done connecting the new infrastructure into the existing.

The new chemical delivery slab is complete. The emergency shower and the installation of the new MEICA equipment in the hypo room are progressing well.

The new external units are in place on new accommodation slabs.

This view of the services corridor shows how much work has been completed this year. The new below ground infrastructure is complete and has been backfilled. 

The below ground works to the south of the new buildings is substantially complete. We have backfilled the ground and opened this road to Northumbrian Water traffic.

In today's update, I would like to share with you the tremendous progress we are making on the testing and commissioning of the new plant. I would like to share some of the recent achievements.

The emergency showers are located in important locations on site. This emergency shower is next to the actiflo and chemical buildings.

The water tanks next to the Rapid Gravity Filters have been tested and the equipment in the tanks has been installed.

The equipment required for the MEICA works is being installed. These works are progressing well.

This photograph shows how well we have progressed in recent months. The installation of the steelwork has started on site. We have already completed some of the external staircases. There are a lot of underground assets on site that are now covered.

In today's update I want to show you how much work is happening on this site. Here are some of the many work fronts that are currently open.

This is the first concrete pour for the passavant crane base.

The lamella structure in the sludge area has been positioned into it's permanent location. The fit out has started.

The scaffold enclosure to the HV swithroom is in place. Works inside this structure is ready to start.

The silos are ready to receive the first deliveries of chemicals.

Hello everyone. At Horsley, we have achieved another milestone. We have completed the deep pipelines, reinstated the fencelines and the automated barriers in the Middle Road area of the site. We are ready to re-open Middle Road. 

The project team is working on a number of fronts and continue to make good progress. 

We have started the testing and commissioning of the MEICA works.

The fit out of buildings continues. We have a number of specialist partners on site working on this project.

Hello from Horsley. We have been working on many new fronts at Horsley and we are hitting a lot of milestones. Thank you to the site teams on the hard work and dedication. We have tested and commissioned many areas of the water treatment process. We have connected permanant power to many of the new strucures and MCCs. 

The site team has set up a the temperature monitor at the entrance to the main office block. This temperature monitor compliments all of the other covid-19 management the site has set in place.

We have had another week of good progress at Horsley Water Treatment Works. Here are some photos showing how the project is going.

This is the view from the top of Birney Hill pumping station looking west along the Tyne valley

The underground works in Middle Road are progressing well. The deep pipes are complete in this area.

We are progressing well with the installation of external access and fittings.

Today I would like to update you on the good progress that has been made at Birney Hill pumping station.

Most of the pumping station is hidden from view. These two structures are built on top of the pumping station.

The earthworks operations are progressing well.

Some of the equipment is housed behind block walls and steel fencing

Hello. We achieved another one of our project milestones this week. We lifted the surge vessels into their final positions.

This crane lift was carried out in two phases. We lifted the vessels onto trailers and transported them to the second lifting location.

We lifted the 14 tonne vessels over a building and onto the reinforced concrete reception slab

The two vessels have been secured into their final positions. The mechanical and electrical fit-out will start later this week
