Update by Alice Blackett

Good Morning

We are back with another update on our 5 Storm Tank Overflow projects.

Moor Crescent/Barnard Avenue, Ludworth

The team have continued to work on the large diameter tank over the last few weeks, even though the weather hasn’t been on their side and have been faced with delays due to uncharted services. The team are aiming to have the tank complete by Friday 22 November with the surface water separation of the sewer completed 2 weeks after if not before. Barnard Avenue road closure remains in place, with the team progressing well with the work and moving the road closure up to the next section.

Etherley Dene, Bishop Auckland

The team continue to work in the background until the urgent third-party work in the area is complete. Our aim is to make sure disturbance is kept to a minimum and will provide a further update when our work can begin.

Pithouse lane, Leamside

Installation of the new CSO is currently in progress. CSO installation works will be ongoing for the next few weeks.

Finchale View, West Rainton

We are currently installing the compound area on site. Over the next couple of weeks, we will be completing the compound and haul road installation and stripping the topsoil at the worksite ready for the drainage installation.

Stanghow Road, Lingdale

Excavation works for the new storm tank will be starting week commencing 18th November. This means there will be heavy load vehicles present and travelling along Stanghow Road. With this in mind, please can we ask drivers to drive carefully and take care to ensure everybody is kept safe. In addition to this, the speed limit will be reduced from 60mph to 40mph.

We are happy to discuss any aspect of this works, please contact us at nwl.customer@esh.uk.com or click 'Contact Project Team' on this page.

Thank you
