Storm Overflows Environmental Improvements

Good Afternoon,

Please see below an update of what is happening on our 5 Storm Overflow Improvement Sites:

Stanghow Road, Lingdale, Saltburn by the Sea

Over the past couple of weeks we have been carrying out trial hole surveys on the meadow within exising manholes. We have now moved on to excevating the area for the new drainage sytem.

We are making good progress with the drainage works on Balmoral Road where we currently have a rolling road closure in place. We are hoping to have the first section of pipework completed week commencing 3 February 2025, when we will then move on to the next section of pipework.

We are currently laying the pipes to the Attenuation Tank, and are curreontly on row 5 of 12. We are on programme to complete the tank works by the end of next week before we backfill the pipework.

Further trial hole surveys will be carried out on Balmoral Road starting on Wednesday 5th February 2025 for 2 days using 2 way traffic lights.

Pithouse Lane, Leamside

All drainage works and benching to manholes are now complete. The CSO screen is to be installed by the end of January when we will then start on reinstatement works.

Finchale View

We have connected up to the existing manhole and completed the first drain run. We are excevating ready for installation of the manifold this week and new sotrage drain runs will be installed in the upcoming weeks.

Moor Crescent/Barnard Avenue

Barnard Avenue pipework is progressing quickly, although the team have faced uncharted services outside of their control. The team continue to reposition the road closure as work progressing.

The new storm pipe on Moor Crecent is now past the bend, before progressing down the bankside. The road closure on Moor Crescent remains in place while works progress. The road surface will be reinstated once all work is completed. I would like to thank you for your patience during our works.

Etherley Lane, Bishop Auckland

The team have been pushing through the elements the last couple of weeks and have now installed the first section of pipework. Traffic management will remain on the road using 2 way lights for 9 weeks, to allow completion on the pipe safely.  The team are monitoring work and noise while on site, due to the proximity of our neighbours. A noise assessment is carried out to minimise noise where possible.

Please contact us direct if you have any questions at nwl.customer@esh.uk.com.
