GENERAL PROJECT

Rookery Gardens, Rushyford

Northumbrian Water, alongside Mott MacDonald Bentley, are working to improve the sewer network in Rushyford, Ferryhill.

Update by Sarah Jayne Parvin

Good afternoon, as you will see our work is progressing well, even with the poor weather conditions we have experienced over the last couple of weeks.

The teams are continuing to push on, team one is currently working within the restrictions of a private garden whilst constructing a manhole and piping out through the drive to manhole 2 which is located on the road outside the private property. Our other team will continue to install pipe along The Lane and into Rookery Gardens and has approx. 17 meters left to go, however, this will be tricky as we come across into the estate as we’ll need to temporarily put traffic on a short section of stoned up trench and verge to get around our work. Please bear with us as we complete this section and please adhere to the temporary traffic light signals.

The pipe laying should be complete towards the back end of this week, to allow the teams to prepare for temporary / permanent reinstatement work.

The reinstatement contractors are lined up to start the tarmac reinstatements on Monday 16th December starting on The Lane and working their way around into Rookery Gardens, however, we may run out of time to complete all reinstatement before the Christmas shut down and may need to return in the New Year to complete reinstatement work.

We would like to thank you for you continued patience and understanding during these works.

As always, any questions please don’t hesitate to ask.

Thanks

Sarahjayne
