GENERAL PROJECT

Scripton Bridge

We are investing around £3 million to make water network improvements in County Durham. The project involves the installation of a new valve configuration to the South West of Brandon Village. This arrangement will allow us to manage the flows in such a way that will provide resilience to the Spennymoor area.

Update by Karen Alexander

Good afternoon

Introducing Steve Swinburne, who is the Farrans Site Agent for the Scripton Bridge scheme.

Steve’s role is to take operational control and ensure delivery of our network improvements on this scheme, located on the edge of Brandon Village. The works will include the installation of a flow meter and an electronically-operated valve, which will add flexibility and resilience to the water network serving County Durham.

Some survey work has already taken place on the site, which is south-west of the village of Brandon, on land between Winchester Drive, Dominion Road and the A690.

We aim to be setting up our site compound and carrying out preliminary groundworks by late August, ahead of construction work starting in September 2024 which will run for approximately 8 months.

 

Kind regards

Karen Alexander

Farrans’ Stakeholder and Social Value Co-ordinator
