Hi everyone, just a quick update about the current works on site.

Starting July 1st, Thomas Street at Eighton Banks will be closed at the Galloping Green Lane junction for pipe laying (The front street, unmade road), the road will still be accessible via the south from Rockcliffe Way. We expect to be past this junction and at the rear of Thomas Street by July 29th, at which point Thomas Street will be reopened. During this time, our team will help with bin collections. Can we also ask that any parked vehicles are kept clear of this section of our work.

On our reservoir site we are still receiving deliveries of the precast walls and roof slabs.
Currently we are preparing for our next concrete pour which is planned for the 1st July.

The pipeline is still progressing over the past week we have laid approx 546m of pipe across our 3 sections.

Just a reminder Springwell road closure is approaching soon and will be from the 22nd of July for 4 weeks.

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we progress with these essential enhancements. 
Should you have any questions or feedback, please do not hesitate to reach out.

Thanks 

Hi all,
Firstly, the team and I would like to extend our gratitude to everyone who attended our Customer Information sessions last Thursday. It was enlightening to see how perceptions can sometimes differ from reality. We’re committed to learning from this and enhancing our online and offline communications to help everyone visualise the final look of the reservoir site, and other work that will take place. The hope is to close the gap between engineering knowledge and the reality of what you will see around you as we continue delivering this project. I want to reassure everyone that the bare concrete walls you currently see will be covered with grass, and the banks will have a 1 in 2 gradient. For a clearer picture, we’ve added the visuals on the pages tab on the portal page featuring all the visual materials from the planning application, there are some minor alterations, such as the control building pictured. This was initially planned to be above ground but is now placed underground.

Project Progress
Eighton Banks
We acknowledge the frustrations caused by delays in this area, both to the community and our team. Originally, we hoped to reopen all footpaths and bridal ways by February, but this has not been possible. We sincerely apologise for this delay. The current plan is to complete pipelaying by the end of July. Meanwhile, we are exploring ways to partially reopen the footpath from the south side near the Engine Room up towards the old railway tracks to facilitate community access.

Reservoir Construction
Yesterday marked another milestone with the fourth out of eight concrete pours. Daily, approximately three roof panels are being delivered to the site. To stay on schedule, we plan to continue working Saturdays from 8 am to 1 pm, which will include crane lifts to position the precast walls and roof panels.

Mount Lane
Traffic management notices have been extended until the 14th of June. Work to the edges of Mount Lane is still being completed. We are also addressing some settlement issues in the tarmac and plan to complete repairs within the next week. Additionally, you’ll notice tidying efforts along Mount Park Road in the coming week.

Pipeline towards Washington
Progress here is steady, we’ve completed approximately one-fifth of the pipeline installation. The Peareth Hall Road closure is now rescheduled to begin on the 19th of August and will last four weeks. We aim to maintain pedestrian access where possible, though it won't always be feasible. It's important to note that this closure only affects a specific section between the PROWs alongside the A194, not the entire stretch of road. Please click HERE to view the diversion route plan.

Also, a quick reminder that our road closure on Springwell Road, is scheduled to start on July 22nd for up to 4 weeks. Please click HERE to view the diversion route plan.

As always, we are grateful for your patience and understanding as we push forward with these critical infrastructure improvements. We will continue to keep you informed through updates on our community portal and direct communications.

Hi, Please be aware that on Tuesday 4^th June, Mott MacDonald Bentley staff will be attending our company seminar. As a result, all sites will be closed on that day. Operations will resume on Wednesday 5^th June.

On the reservoir we have our next concrete pour in the south east section is scheduled for Thursday 6th June. Deliveries of 270m³ concrete will arrive throughout the day, followed by power floating, which is expected to continue through the night.

Thank you.

Afternoon everyone, 

We previously let you know that we would need to implement a full road closure on Peareth Hall Road starting from June 17th lasting for up to four weeks.

Unfortunately, due to unforeseen delays in the delivery of key components required to install the pipeline, we are not able to commence as planned. Once we have the new date, we will share it with you promptly.

We understand this change may cause inconvenience and frustration, and we sincerely apologise for any disruption this may cause. 

Thank you for your understanding and patience.

Hi everyone,

Good news! The full road closure on Mount Lane will be removed today and replaced with priority signs instead of the originally proposed lights. This change is expected to significantly reduce waiting times for everyone. While our teams complete some necessary work on both edges of Mount Lane, the priority boards will be in place to ensure smooth traffic flow. These boards will be removed over the weekends when no work is being carried out, further minimising any inconvenience.

Additionally, we would like to inform you that our team will be working on the reservoir site this Saturday between the hours of 9 AM and 1 PM.

On Thursday 30th May,  we are holding three customer information drop-in sessions in our site cabins at Mount Lane. Car parking spaces will be available onsite if you chose to drive and pedestrian access is to be also available, please use the pedestrian access walkways marked out at the compound.

• Session 1, between 10:00 and 12:00

• Session 2, between 13:00 and 15:00

• Session 3, between 17:00 and 19:00 

If you unable to attend any of those session let me know and we can arrange an alternative date and time to suit.

Thanks 

Morning everyone, we hope this message finds you well. Here is the latest update for Springwell Enhancements Project.  

Mount Lane will reopen to single file traffic and pedestrians this Friday, however there will be a set of two way traffic lights in place for two weeks, these will act as a safety zone whilst MMB reinstate land to the North & South of Mount lane.

Over on our reservoir site the team on site have been busy continuing to position the wall infills and columns within the reservoir. Roof panel deliveries will begin to arrive on site from next week. Other activities taking place currently include steel work, valve installation and commencing work on the drain down pipe. Our next concrete pour is set to be the 6th of June, but we will confirm closer to the time.

Pipelaying continues elsewhere across the project.
Work over at Eighton Banks, we are working hard to reopen the public rights of way in early June.

As always, we appreciate your ongoing support and understanding as we advance with these essential works. 

Morning, I have attached our latest Springwell Enhancements Project leaflet. This has been circulated within the last 48 hours so for those who did not receive one there is access to it here.

We're pleased to provide you with the latest progress on various segments of the Springwell Enhancements Project.

Mount Lane Road Closure

The four-week closure of Mount Lane is currently in effect. After some initial challenges and adjustments, including repositioned signage, we expect smoother operations moving forward. The closure is set to conclude on May 24th.

Eighton Banks Progress and Water Supply Interruption

Pipelaying continues towards the Mount Community Centre. We have scheduled a water supply interruption for May 9th, from 9:00 AM to 11:45 AM, this is to allow localised pipe realignment. Affected properties were notified on Wednesday. Preparatory excavations at the junction of Rear of Thomas Street and Galloping Green Lane will start on May 7th, with road reinstatement by the end of May 10th. Traffic will be restricted on this section throughout the week, google image and location below.

Footpath Updates at Eighton Banks

The team is assessing the reopening of public right of way footpaths near Eighton Banks towards the end of May. We will provide updates as they become available.

Reservoir Construction Progress

The reservoir structure is visibly shaping up with the next concrete pour planned for early June. Current work includes wall infills, and the placement of columns and roof beams, take a look at this Video, to see progress so far.

Trenchless Pipeline Directional Drilling

This week, directional drilling for pipeline sections on land adjacent to Broom Court is underway, with plans to drill under Springwell Road next week. This drilling approach has eliminated the need for road closures that traditional open-cut methods would necessitate.

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we progress with these essential enhancements. Should you have any questions or feedback, please do not hesitate to reach out.

Thanks 

Sarah

We appreciate your patience and support as we continue with the Springwell Enhancements Project.

Here’s our latest update, including some adjustments to our schedule:

Reservoir Site Developments

The concrete pour at the Reservoir Site on the 9th of April went ahead as planned. Power floating extended into the afternoon of the 10th. Our next pour should be around 6 to 7 weeks from now. We will provide advance notice as the date approaches.

Mount Lane

Effective from last Monday, two-way traffic management was implemented on Mount Lane. Starting the 29th of April, there will be a full road closure to facilitate pipeline crossing. 

Pipe Delivery Delays

There has been a slight delay with our pipe deliveries initially scheduled for the 15th of April. Deliveries will now commence on the 24th of April. These deliveries will be taken to our A195 compound and Springwell road section. We are doing everything we can to minimise the impact on the community and appreciate your understanding.

Thank you once again for your cooperation and understanding. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions or feedback, and stay tuned for further updates.

Warm regards,

Anya

Afternoon everyone, just a quick update regarding some traffic management this Friday the 12th of April.

The works will require 3 way lights at the junction of Mount Lane and Mount Park Road due to needing access to manholes along that route. The lights will be erected at 9AM and will be removed by the end of the day.

Please see the plotted points on the map attached below outlining the area of traffic management.

On a positive note the concrete pour that took place yesterday has been successful, they are continuing to power float today however it will not continue into tonight.
