Redcar

Rainwise Project for Redcar looking at protecting communities from future surface water issues using local sustainable interventions where possible.

Update by Peter Greenan

Hi, my name is Peter Greenan and I am the  Project Manager for our Redcar Rainwise Project which will include investigations in Redcar, Dormanstown and Kirkleatham. I will provide updates as our project progresses. 

Increasing rainfall is putting pressure on our sewer network so we are working proactively and exploring opportunities to carry out flood risk reduction projects.

You might see us in the community, carrying out surveys and collecting data, but we need your help too. 

We really want to understand where surface water in the area goes during heavy rainfall so that we can remove, store, divert or delay it from entering our sewer network. If you’re aware of any water collecting where it shouldn’t, please get in touch with us.

You can leave your comments on this update, or get in touch using the ‘Contact us’ button at the top of the page. Alternatively, you can call 0345 717 1100.

Our Framework Partner Mott MacDonald Bentley will be managing the survey and data collection with their contractor ARM PipeTek and this work is expected to progress in June.

If we identify any opportunities for flood risk reduction projects in the area, we will let you know and seek your views on our proposals. The rest of the project team and I will be keeping you updated as our investigations progress.
