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

Progress on this project has been excellent over the summer months. Many of the new structures are nearing completion. Here are some of the new structures that have been built.

These silo have been installed and the delivery pipes are being completed

The fit out of the buildings is progressing well. We have installed some of the emergency showers.

The installation of the process plant and construction of the delivery slabs are progressing well 

We are ready to start buiding the fuel delivery slab next to one of the existing buildings at Horlsey. The reinforcement is on site.
