Update by Ian Davison

Hi

I hope you are all well, apologies its been a while sine the last update.

Mott Macdonald Bentley continue to make good progress onsite making the best of the recent good weather. Last week the contractor completed the excavation and breaking out rock for Primary settlement tanks (PST’s) 1 & 2 setting the precast sump rings in place and commencing the installation of the sludge removal pipework in preparation for a mass  concrete pour.

Looking ahead this week we hope to undertake the mass fill concrete pour in around rings/pipework bringing up to PST formation level. The first of the PST precast tank units are expected to be delivered next week, once these deliveries get underway you will notice increased traffic on Mill Lane. We will continue to monitor the condition of Mill lane and the verges during the period of these deliveries.

Pictures are attached showing our progress. As always if you have any queries please do not hesitate to get in touch via the comment section below or the contact button at the top of the page were we will be happy to help.

Thanks

Ian
