GENERAL PROJECT
CURRENT WEATHER
13°C

River Gaunless, Bishop Auckland

We are investing up to £9 million to improve Butterknowle, Cockfield and Ramshaw sewage treatment works. Starting in December 2018 and likely to continue to December 2019. These works will improve the quality of the water in the River Gaunless and will not involve any disruption to the wastewater service in the area. We would really like to hear any comments or questions you may have get in touch using the 'Contact us' button at the top of the page or leave a comment below. Dean Thompson NWL project manager

Update by Brian Hall

Hi, Good to see the weather warming up again. It is helping us to start progressing again.

Progress this week -

Cockfield  - we are now in a position to start setting up the walls to the chemical bund now that the base has been concreted. We have other smaller operations on going. Traffic on and off site is minimal but still be careful when driving past.

Ramshaw - The attached photos show we are progressing well and ready to start pouring concrete. Traffic will be minimal during this period. We are however going to move a cabin from Ramshaw across to Butterknowle. Please bear with us as we will need to stop the traffic for a short period while we do this.

Butterknowle has thawed out quite a bit over the last week. This has caused the track to the works to have a bit of surface mud. We are managing this the best we can at present.

The testing to the water main is going well. We are now in a position to close it down and get the traffic lights removed early next week.

The work to the pumping station has had an interesting start. Now making good progress.

Enjoy your week.

Many Thanks

Martin
