GENERAL PROJECT

Lamesley Rising Main Replacement

To replace a failing pumping main from Lamesley Sewage Pumping Station to Birtley Sewage Treatment Works.

Update by Rachel Rutter

Good afternoon,

The crew continue to monitor the North Field and Birtley Sewerage Treatment Works and plan to rotavate and seed in the Spring with fencing and hedgerow reinstatement to be carried out in November.

Pipe welding and construction of the washout chamber and air valve are complete. The team will need to access the wash out chamber on Greenford Lane, which will require 2 way traffic lights, a date is to be confirmed. Concrete reinstatement works are ongoing inside Birtley Sewerage Treatment Works.

Work has commenced at Lamesley pump station for the installation of an over pump chamber, wash out chamber and new pipework replacement, which is expected to be completed in 4-6 weeks.

As you may have seen due to the weather conditions Greenford Lane has been flooding in the location of the recent road closure. The excavations we have completed are linked to the work being carried out to improve the rising main, this has not affected the levels or drainage on the road.

Please contact us direct if you have any questions at nwl.customer@esh.uk.com.

Thank you

Rachel
