Good Afternoon,

As part of our work in your area we wanted to let you know about the next stage of our work, in field 10. To create a safe working area to construct man hole 08 we need to install sheet pilling using a hammer method.

This will take place over the next three days, starting Wednesday 17 May and end Friday 19 May. We will continue to use the shared access off Latimer Way to get to this working area. See plan attached.

Thank you again for your patience.

Good afternoon,

We hope you all had a lovely Easter Weekend!

I have included a plan here for you to view which shows the areas I am referring to below. 

Pittington

Starting our update with the Gravity Drainage in fields 9 and 10, we have now constructed the discharge chamber, manhole chambers 1-7 along with the pipelines connecting the chambers together.  The team are due to complete the enabling works including installing the sheet piles and frames ready for work being carried out to Manhole 8. To carry out excavation works to this chamber safely, a stone pad access platform has been built (see photos). Construction work to Manhole 12 has been carried out, ready for the 225mm pipeline to be tied into the existing manhole once coring works are complete. The pipework from Manhole 12 to the flow control chamber is also currently underway.

In field 11, we have excavated and shored Manhole 10 and Manhole 11 prior to carrying out the drill shot of the 250mm PE pipe between the two chambers. You may have already noticed that we have added traffic lights to Mill Lane while we carry out the drilling work from Manhole 10 to Manhole 8 which will run underneath the road. It is necessary for us to use trail holes to locate the gas main and water main so we can carry out the drilling work safely. We anticipate the traffic lights being in this area for up to three weeks. We do apologise for any inconvenience caused at this time.

Finally, in Pittington STW the new storm tanks are standing at their final height, and the kerbs, paving area and retaining wall are being constructed. We are also proceeding with the prep works for the MCC Kiosk base.

Sherburn 

As mentioned in our last update, all the 5m shaft segments have now been installed in the backwash tank and the surround has been poured. The team are now ready to start constructing the top slab next week.

The NSAF legato block retaining wall is now in place.

Finally, the installation of the ducts adjacent to the proposed MCC Kiosk is almost complete.

Please feel free to leave a comment below if you have any questions, and a member of the project team will get back to you.

Speak soon!

Hello,

I hope you're all keeping well! Here is this months update on our progress...

Sherburn

I'll start the update with progress over at Sherburn STW. The base slab reinforcement to the Backwash Tank I mentioned in our last update has been complete and the concrete slab has been poured successfully. The installation of the shaft segments is due to commence in the upcoming week. The NSAF area has been stoned up and ducting beneath the wall area between the new MCC Kiosk and tertiary area has been installed. The NSAF wall foundation has been prepped and the concrete has been poured ready for the for the new concrete blocks to be put into place.

Pittington

Along the gravity sewer, manhole chamber 1, the discharge chamber and the pipeline in between has been constructed. In Fields 6 & 8 (shown on the plan on my last update) the airvalves have been installed and complete. The Airvalves are designed to release the pressure out of the pipeline.
In Pittington STW, since the concrete pour to the base of the SPS shown on the photo in my last update, the SPS vessel has been lifted into place and the concrete surround has been poured. 

I have included drone footage that was taken just before Christmas which shows the working area of the pipeline route from Pittington STW, through to Sherburn STW.

As always if you have any questions, please leave a comment below and a member of the project team will get back to you. 

Speak soon!

Hello,

Just a quick update to let you know that we will be placing a two-way traffic managment system along Mill Lane between Sherburn STW and Lartington Way from Monday 20th February while we try to locate a gas main and the existing water main. This should take approximatley two weeks to carry out.

We would like to thank you for your patience during this time.

Good afternoon,

Following on from my previous update, here is what has been going on at Pittington and Sherburn over the last few weeks.

Pittington

The team working on the Gravity Sewer pipeline in field 9 are currently installing the 225mm pipeline between manhole chamber 2 and manhole chamber 1. The construction of manhole chamber 2 is also underway. I have included a photo below. 
On the Rising Main Pipeline the team are working in Fields 6 and 7 fitting the air valves to the new pipeline. Drilling work is also complete. 
At Pittington STW, the excavation and shoring of the new SPS has been carried out with the concrete base now poured. We are continuing to fit the valves, penstocks and flap valve within the Storm Tanks. 

I have attached a plan here of the working area mentioned. 

Sherburn STW

Since our last update, the site set-up is now complete. The team are now carrying out excavation works for the new retaining wall and deep backwash tank. I have also attached a photo of the new electrical kiosk on site. 

As always, please feel free to leave a comment below with any questions you may have and a member of the project team will get back to you.

Thanks.

Hello,

We hope you had a lovely Christmas and New Year! The team returned to work the first week in January, and since then they have been busy carrying on from where we left off before the Christmas break.

Sherburn STW

I'll start our update with what has been happening at Sherburn STW. The site set-up is nearly complete with the site cabins almost up and running. The team will be removing the existing surplus material off site and installing a construction platform across the tertiary process area to commence construction works. Next week, Northern Powergrid will be undertaking works to upgrade the power supply to site.

Pittington

At Pittington Sewage Treatment Works, our subcontractor, NML, are carrying out the coring works for the pipework which will interlink the storm tanks and the new manhole chamber. Once this has been complete, the weir wall inside the two new storm tanks will be constructed. We are continuing to open cut and lay the Rising Main pipeline in Fields 7 and 8. Drilling works are also taking place in Fields 5 and 6 this week and next week. Over on the Gravity Sewer, Manhole 3 is also underway (highlighted on the plan below). 

I have attached a plan here with the relevant working areas highlighted.

As always, if you have any questions you'd like answering please leave a comment below and a member of the project team will get back to you.

Thanks.

Good Morning,

Christmas is creeping up fast, so I thought I'd post a quick update on what has been happening over the past month. 

The team have been busy installing the new rising main pipeline, and the new gravity sewer pipeline. Around 1200 metres of rising main has been laid, and 470 metres of gravity sewer. Work has now commenced within the treatment works including the installation of the storm tanks and the NPG Kiosk which are currently underway. 

We have been carrying out drilling works on Front Street over the past few days which are almost complete.

Prior to the Christmas break, the team will continue laying the rising main along Cookshold Lane and Front Street and the gravity sewer along South Street and Front Street. 

The lads will be getting a well-deserved break from Wednesday 21st December until Tuesday 3rd January for the Christmas shut down. 

An update will be posted in the New Year so keep a look out!

On behalf of the Project Team, we would like to wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Good morning,

We just wanted to make you aware that from Monday 5th December we will be placing traffic lights along Front Street, Sherburn Village, for approximatley four days while we carry out some essential work.  

Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience this may cause you however, we will do all we can to keep disruption to a minimum.

Thank you.

Gaby

Hello,

Since my last update we have been continuing to lay the gravity sewer and rising main pipework. So far, we have laid 365 metres of gravity sewer and 800 metres of rising main.

We will be continuing to lay the rising main pipe along Cookshold Lane over the upcoming weeks, and the gravity sewer adjacent to South Street and Front street, Sherburn. Drilling works from Pittington Sewage Treatment Works to Littletown Farm will also be on-going. 

Some of you may have noticed an increase in traffic through South Street accessing the field at South Street crossing. This is due to drilling works we are currently carrying out in this area. From Monday 7th November for approximatey five working days, we kindly ask and where possible, access is kept clear through South Street from 8.00am until 5.00pm daily as we have larger vehicles than usual using this route. We appreciate this is a narrow lane with limited parking so, if you are struggling with parking and require any assistance please feel free to speak to our site team for assistance.  You can also eave us a comment below if you have any questions, and a member of the project team will get back to you.

As always, thank you for your patience and understanding during this time.

Gaby

Good afternoon,

Just a quick update to let you know that we will be placing traffic lights on Mill Lane on Monday 7th November for approximatley two days. During this time we will also be adding a footpath closure. If you are walking in this area during this time, we would like to kindly remind you to stay vigilent and if you require any assistance a member of our team will be happy to help you. 

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you for your continued patience during this time.
