Good Afternoon,

As promised............

Good Afternoon All,

So by now you will have noticed us!!!! We are currently setting up the site which needs to be prepared and established to suit the project and we will need to extend into the car park because of the area required.

There will be a reasonable amount of activity this week so please be a little more vigilant as we will be in and out of the site.  Mark, Steve and the team have been busy, stripping back the topsoil, laying aggregate, establishing the laydown area for materials and just making the area safe for work......so there is a lot of activity on the west side of the site.

Fingers crossed the team are expect to move into their temporary cabins within the site later today.

I will post some photos so you can see what's going on.

Don't forget if you have any questions just either write me a blog or use the "contact us" button on the project page or, you can always simply ask one of the site team.

Good Afternoon Everyone,

Happy New Year!

Just thought I would send you the details of the road closure and the diversion we will be introducing from Monday 7th Jan. The new traffic arrangement will continue for approximately one month after which we will review the situation. Whilst we intend to have the closure on 24/7 we will review the the closure daily to try to minimise any impact. All I ask of you is to be that little more vigilant during our presence as there will be more vehicle activity.

Here are the site plans for the closure and diversion, if you want further information please drop me a line on the portal or use the "contact us" button on the project page

Hi everyone

I'm Chris Austin the Project Manager for the Murton Water  Treatment Works (WTW)  Upgrade.

As part of our ongoing investment programme and to ensure the highest level of customer service, we are planning to extend and improve the existing WTW at Murton, near Berwick Upon Tweed.

The extension of the existing WTW facility will comprise of a new building, new settlement tanks, new disinfection tanks, modification to the site vehicular access and new areas of roads / hardstanding within the site.

We are shortly planning to commence with our construction activity at the site.    Initial preparatory works will start on site on Wednesday 14 November 2018 before the main construction works commence.

We're working in partnership with our framework partners Mott MacDonald Bentley to complete the construction work at the site which will take up to 12 months to complete with planned completion in December 2019.

We will share further information with you about this project and will also provide regular updates on progress and traffic management whilst works are in progress.

If you have any queries,  or want to make us aware of any additional assistance you require from us during this work, then please use the ‘Contact us’ button at the top of this page.
