Hello,

Works are now well underway with the civil works almost 50% complete. The two major pieces of equipment required for the new compliance, the chemical dosing kiosks and the tertiary treatment unit have now arrived at site. 

Going forward over the next few weeks we’ll be carrying on with the civil works and making a start on some of the mechanical installations.

Hello

I’d like to introduce the team from Galliford Try that will be completing the work at Sacriston on behalf of Northumbria Water. My name is Jane Cooper, and I am the Customer Experience Coordinator for Galliford Try. Our Site Manager is Iain Cunningham and our Project Manager is Mark Goodby

Construction works have started on site, with the site setup being completed early January. Current works ongoing involve the reduction and levelling of ground for the new tertiary treatment and chemical dosing slabs.  Once this levelling and stoning work is complete then piling will be carried out late February.

I’ll keep you updated with progress on this project portal, but if you have any questions, you can either quickly create an account to comment on any activity updates on this page, or alternatively, use the ‘Contact’ button at the top of the page, whichever way is best for you.

Good morning, you should have received a postcard this week letting you know that we are preparing to start work on the upgrade to Sacriston sewage treatment works to help improve the water quality in the South Burn.

Work will begin on Monday 15 January 2024 for up to 8 months. However, as with all construction projects, unexpected delays can sometimes occur. Typical working hours will be Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm.

The site is located east of the village, surrounded by woodland and we don’t expect significant disruption. However, there may be a noticeable increase in construction traffic accessing the site via the B6312 and Cross Lane during the construction period. Please note that caution should be taken when crossing the existing access track to the works.

Good morning and apologies, we've not updated the portal for a quite a while now.

We wrote to customers back in September to confirm that we have now secured business approval for the upgrade works and are progressing with the detailed design.  We plan to start construction work in January 2024 and expect the upgrade works to take up to 8 months to complete. Now that we are preparing to move into the construction phase, we'll make sure to kee pthe portal updated regularly so you can see how we are getting on. 

Again, don't hesistate to contact us either via the 'Contact Us' tab above or comment on this post and we'll get back to you.

Thanks
