Good Morning,

It's been a while since the last up date so i thought I'd give you a brief overview:-

• We have moved into the new grounds "Wylam Pumping Station", this really has created a lot more space for the team as the next phase of planned work The Eel Screens will require us to create more room for subcontractors to conduct their work along side us.
• There has been some cutting back and trimming of some trees to enable us to have access along the river bank, logs have been cut and returned to the landowner.
• Contractors have been working with us on pump 4.
• The ducting and chambers are now complete.
• The surge vessel has now bee installed in the field adjacent to the works.
• Please note there will be a building erected around the surge vessel in the coming weeks.

As the recent weather has been kind to us we have been able to move on quite significantly.

I've attached some photos of the recent works for you to have a look.

Hello Everyone

I just thought I’d let you know we have now moved into Wylam Pumping Station; it makes sense for us to be in there as there is much more space for us and the subbies who will be joining us in due course.

I would just like to say a further “Hello” to the residents I spoke too last week (along with their lovely dogs) when letting them know about the move.

For now, we will be continuing with the work on the western main in the field opposite Ovingham Road and this week will be starting some duct works from the pumping station down towards Mr Wards field.

Thanks again for your patience and understanding and please drop me a line if you require information on the works.

Hello everyone, hope you are all keeping well and looking forward to Spring.

I would like to provide a further update on works at Ovingham.  The team are carrying out some additional works on the north side of Ovingham Road near to Kitty's Burn to install surge protection for the mains running to Horsley Water Treatment Works.  These works are well underway and will be complete by June 2022.

Please see the attached photographs showing the works carried out todate.

Good Afternoon All,

Just to let you know the lay-by near the pumping station is now available for use. The team have just moved the cabins down to Wylam in preparation of our pending move into the Northumbrian Water grounds.

Please be aware the walk way will be still be in place for the road crossing arrangement nearby so please be vigilant.

Thanks again for your patience.

Joan

Good Morning,

I thought I show you some activity currently taking place yesterday on both the Pumping Station site and in the field adjacent. A great example of two companies working collaboratively. 

Northumbrian Water at the Pumping station and us Mott MacDonald Bentley in the field.

Good Morning,

Hope you all had a lovely Christmas.

The team are back as I'm sure you have noticed and I'd thought just to let you know there will be a fare bit of activity in the coming weeks.

Next Tuesday 18th January we will be putting a new pump in bay 5 and 1st February a new pump in bay 1 at the pumping station . This will include the delivery and use of the large crane we have used previously so the traffic management will be introduced on those days. We will of course try to keep our impact to a minimum however inevitably there will be some disruption to the traffic flow during those days so please be vigilant. 

Between now and the end of February we will be making plans to use the Wylam PS too whilst our work continues, so watch this space for further updates.

Thank you again for your understanding.

Wishing you all good wishes for 2022.

Good Morning 

I thought I'd take the opportunity to wish you all a "Happy Holiday" and Best Wishes for the coming New Year.

The team will be closing site this Friday and taking advantage of the extended time off work.

The lads have worked exceptionally hard this year and welcome the break.

We have enjoyed working in this lovely region and thank you for allowing us to do some community work in the villages and will see you next year.

Thank you again for your understanding and patience.

Good Afternoon,

Just thought I'd share the work our team have done in the Sports Pavilion as a thank you to the lovely village of Ovingham during this past year.

Once again thank you for your understanding and co-operation during our work.

Good Morning All,

Hope you are keeping safe and well in this crazy weather.

Just to let you know a crawler crane will be delivered today/tomorrow and will remain in our car park for a few days so please be a little more vigilant if you are in the area. The crane is required to assist the cleaning of the screens at the RWPS. This work will be conducted by the Esh Group, another framework partner of Northumbrian Water. 

This work is likely to continue into the weekend and I know Esh will keep the potential inconvenience to a minimum and will complete the work as soon as possible.

Thank you all again for your co-operation and understanding.

Stay safe

Good Morning,

Just thought, as promised I would share the photos of the refurbed park benches in Wylam village. Our guys did a great job on them and I hope we have done them justice.
