Good afternoon everyone, happy Friday!

We wanted to keep you in the loop and let you know that currently we are in the busiest phase of the Project, but activity for large deliveries will subside in a few weeks’ time.

We will be updating you all with the latest progress very soon however in the meantime, should you have any questions please don't hesitate to add a comment in the box below and a member of the Project Team will be in touch.

Take care and enjoy your weekend.

Good afternoon,

I hope you are well.

Since my last previous update last month, I have some further updates to share with you on the progress that has been made on the Treatment Works.

We have now built two out of three of the NSAF tanks and we have also got the new MCC cable trough completed. The third tank will be built following on from this and the new kiosk for the MCC will be on Site around 30th July.

We have also cleared the last of the reed bed and filled this with stone.

Should you have any questions to ask us, please don’t hesitate to add a comment in the box below and a member of the Project Team will respond.

Enjoy the rest of your week!

Bethany

Good afternoon, 

I'd like to start off the update by introducing myself, my name is Bethany Oakley and I am the Customer Liaison Officer looking after Lanchester Sewer Treatment Works on behalf of Mott Macdonald Bentley (MMB). Going forward I will be adding updates to the portal as the works progress. 

I will include some photos to my update for you to take a look at. 

Since our last update, I am pleased to report that the tankering operation has been complete however, the ecological visit for nesting birds is currently ongoing. 

We have also reclaimed a small portion of reed bed which will allow us to potentially start building the new MCC (motor control centre) trench.

The NSAF reinforcement is also coming together nicely and we have poured the second base slab for the chemical bunds. We are now continuing with the chemical bund walls.

Should you have any questions or queries, please dont hesitate to leave a comment below and a member of the project team will get back to you.

As always, thank you for your continued patience and cooperation.

Good Morning,

It's been a while since our last post, so here's a quick update on whats been happening on site. 

The compound has now been fully setup and is in use. We have started works in the chemical dosing area that has consisted of exposing an old retaining wall and then breaking all of the concrete out form the wall and the base. The team have also constructed new and safe walk ways around the Sewage Treatment Works.

Keep a look out for more updates in the next month or so!

If you have any questions, please leave a comment below and a member of the project team will get back to you.

Good afternoon,

Following on from Charles' update I thought I'd take this opportunity to introduce myself and some of the Mott MacDonald Bentley (MMB) team.

My name is Gaby Ward, I am the Customer Liaison Officer for Mott MacDonald Bentley (MMB) and will be conducting the engagement with our customers and posting regular updates on here. Working alongside myself at MMB is Jason Bradley, our Contracts Manager and Alex Brown our Site Agent. 

Over the next two weeks we will be starting to set up the site compound. Please be aware during this time, there will be an increase of vehicles accessing the STW delivering materials and the site cabins. If you are in this area, please take extra care. Once we have our working area set up, the volume of traffic will start to decrease and with our work being within the STW, any disruption should be minimal. 

The site will be closing down for the Christmas break from Wednesday 20th December until Tuesday 2nd January. 

On behalf of the project team, we hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and New Year!

I am Charles Harman, the Northumbrian Water Project Manager, and I will be looking after this project through to its completion. The project will be delivered by Northumbrian Water’s delivery partner Mott MacDonald Bentley. 

Starting in September 2023 we will be carrying out construction works at Lanchester sewage treatment works to add additional treatment processes to further improve the water quality of the Smallhope Burn, a tributary of the River Browney. The works should be completed by February 2025.

As the project develops we will keep you informed about our plans and progress by sharing our proposals with you on this portal. I am very interested to understand your views. 

The team will post regular updates throughout the construction phase of the project, and if you have any queries or want to make us aware of any additional assistance you require from us then please use the ‘Contact us’ button at the top of this page or post on this feed.

If you prefer a telephone conversation or require any further information or advice, please contact our Customer Centre on 0345 717 1100 or visit www.nwl.co.uk to request a call back from the project team.
