Good afternoon everyone,

whats with this weather I am not sure if it is summer or winter these days

I just wanted to touch base with an update on the progression of the works on the River Tyne in your area,

We have succesfully installed a number of sheet piles now on the east side wing wall of the river, these are narrow sheets of material, usually designed with an angular profile and with interlocking edges, so that multiple sheet piles can be fitted together to form a structurally sound and often watertight wall or barrier this is to protect the Eels and other animals that live in the river. We have nearly completed the drilling onsite with the last few sheet piles to be fitted and have made good progress all round over the past few weeks.

We hope we have not caused any major disruptions while the works have been progressing but if you have any questions or queries please leave a comment below or use the contact details provided and one of the team will get back to you.

thank you all once again for your continued support and patience

Good afternoon,

As you all know JNB have been working hard to install eel screens at the pumping station on the River Tyne at Ovingham.

As work progresses on our £14m project to support the recovery of the River Tyne’s European Eel population, members of the team have been out helping reshape and enhance recreational space for the area’s human population.

After discussions with Ovingham Parish Council on how the team can support the community during the work, the site agent and a couple of his team gave up their own time on a weekend to visit the local playing field to prepare the ground for improvements.

By flattening and reducing the overall size of a mound that sits in the field by removing large pipes and boulders, the team have made space for the installation of a new slide (see photo below) that has been donated by Ovingham Parish Council, and created a raised area that can be further developed for use.

Well done team

Julie
