Good afternoon, Everyone,
I bet you are all pleased we are entering the lighter nights and hopefully some better and improved weather!!
Its been a while so I thought I would let you know what has been happening on the project at Ovingham, we have made some good progress on site even though the weather has been against us somedays, we have been working hard on the upstream cofferdam over the past month, this is an enclosure built within a body of water to allow the enclosed area to be pumped out or drained which then creates a dry working environment so that the work can be carried out safely. we have excavated it to formation level, Installed the stone, as well as installing concrete blinding, rebar and concrete base. Going forward over the next few months this we will be carrying this same operation to install the downstream cofferdam and concrete base. We are also using our crane to assist NWG with the pump replacements.
In the meantime if you have any issues or questions please leave a comment below or use the details provided to contact us and one of the team will be happy to help.
thanks
Julie

Good morning all,
Can you believe January is nearly over, I hope you are all looking forward to 2025.
We would just like to welcome you to the first update of the year here at Ovingham. Due to the weather conditions progress has been slow on site but we are hoping the weather will improve so we can continue with the project. At the moment we are currently on with the installation of upstream concrete base unit for the first set of screens to sit on at the front of the river. Upon completion of the upstream concrete base we will then progress to the downstream concrete base for the second set of screens to sit on.
We would once again like to thank you for your continued support and patience while the works are ongoing, in the meantime if you have any questions or queries please leave a comment below or contact us using the details provided and one of the team will be happy to help.
Thank you
