I thought I would provide an update on how we are getting on.

Firstly I would like to thank you all for your continued patience and support while the works continue as I know it is not easy with all the extra traffic, but we are doing our best to try to not to cause to much disruption.

Update on the progress - we have been working hard on installing piles in the river to the front of the station and will soon be moving back to installing the final piles to the eastern side of the pumping station prior to starting works on casting the bases for the new screens at the front of the pumping station

Morning everyone,

We just wanted to let you know this weekend on the 1st and 2nd of June we will be carrying out some drilling operations on site.

This will be from 7:30am - 5pm.

If there are any queries or issues, please contact Jason our site agent for the project on 07970248988.

Good Afternoon Everyone

Just thought I'd bring you up to date with the developments by the Pumping Station.

The weather has delayed the progress on site but the lads are trying to get back on track, they have made some progress so I thought I would give you an update of what has been happening -  here goes

Our piling subcontractor southbay have installed bottom beams to piling gate no. 14, RVT engineer continue enviro hub commissioning & maintenance with MMB site team, MMB cleaned out drilling arisings from the skip, the lads had to reinstall site equipment following recession of flood waters, so they can commence drilling, hopefully the weather will improve and the site do not have any further setbacks.

If you want to ask me any questions about the project please feel free or leave a comment below.

Good afternoon,

I hope you all have had a lovely bank holiday weekend and the weather has stayed nice for you all, its been a while since our last update so I wanted to let you know how the project is progressing, we have had a few minor set backs due to the weather conditions but we have kept going and hopefully we can catch up, as you maybe aware we have also been working weekends to help us get back on track.

We are still drilling and have had a few issues, but they have now been overcome.  The RVT engineer is continuing with the Envirohub commissioning & maintenance alongside the MMB site team. We are trying to keep the disruption to the absolute mininium but there is an odd occasion when the works do cause some minor interuptions.

 If you have any issues or concerns please feel free to catch one of the site team or leave a post below and a member of the team will get back to you as soon as we can.

Thanks for your patience 

Julie 

Good Morning,

UPDATE -  on our on-going work at Ovingham Pumping Station near your home.

Our work to install the eel screens at the pumping station is progressing well. You might be aware that European Eel stocks are very low and continue to decline. The work we are doing is part of a recovery plan that aims to return the eel stocks to sustainable levels, with the screens enabling safer journeys upstream for eels and migratory fish.

The eel screens will not only provide security of water supply for the future but will also enable Northumbrian Water to achieve compliance with the Eels (England and Wales) Regulations 2009.

This is a major construction scheme and you may notice some increased activity, including over the weekend, through to the Autumn.

We now expect the installation of the eel screens and supporting work to be complete by November 2025

I would like to thank you again for the patience you have shown while we have been working near your home and if you require any further information, please telephone our customer contact centre on 03457 171100 to arrange a call back from the Project Team or leave a comment below.

Good afternoon,

I hope we are not causing to much disruption due to the works being carried out, I thought I would give you a quick update on the progress of the project after a slow start to the year due to the adverse weather we have being getting, the first piling gate on the east side has been erected, all piles pitched and drilled and is now being disassembled alongside assembly of the next gate in the project. We welcome Sub Aqua in for an internal cleanse on the station while also getting ready to cleanse the front of the station from the regular silt build up!

if you have any questions or enquiries please donot hestitate in leaving a comment below or just get in touch.

thank you

Julie

Good morning,

I hope you all have had a lovely Christmas and a great New Year!!

I would like to provide an update on the progress of the project as I know there is a number of questions you may have. As you all will be aware we currently have 3 way traffic lights on Ovingham Road these will remain approximately until the end of February to facilitate deliveries to the Ovingham Eels Screens as well as the safe working area and footpath diversion of our sister scheme on the Horsley Run2Waste Pipeline connection works taking place adjacent the Hermitage Caravan Park entrance.

If you have any questions or concerns please do not hestitate in contacting myself or site.

thanks

Julie
