RAINWISE SCHEME

CURRENT WEATHER

4°C

Monks Wood, North Shields Surface Attenuation

We are currently on site adjacent to Beach Road. Our scheme is to separate surface water flows from the combined sewerage system and store the excessive flows during storms. To do this, we are constructing new surface water and combined sewers together with a series of cascading basins in which to hold back the flows until the storm subsides and the existing sewerage system can accept the storm water.

We've been hampered slightly by the rain this week. On the South side of Beach Road, the topsoiling is all complete, it just needs the final cultivation and planting. The area next to Whitehouse primary school is now taking shape as we are tidying up and starting topsoil there.

We did plan to start the earthworks to the basins this week, but due to the rain it was not practical as there is not an outlet for the water yet. The GPS machinery has been calibrated ready to start the earthworks on Monday.
