Good afternoon all,

We wanted to take this opportunity to provide the last update of the year!

All traffic management and working areas across the 5 sites will be removed from Friday 20 December 2024 for the Christmas and New Year period and will return to work on Monday 6 January 2025. 

We wish all our customers a Merry Christmas and all the very best for 2025.  We would also like to thank you all for your patience and understanding whilst we have carried out our works.

If you have any concerns over the Christmas and New Year period, please contact us by emailing nwl.customer@esh.uk.com.

Merry Christmas to you all, stay safe and wrap up warm!

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 18^th 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

Alice & Rachel

Good afternoon,

I thought now is the perfect time to update you on the 5 projects and how the teams are progressing.

Moor Crescent/Barnard Avenue, Ludworth

The team have been working on 1050 tank and although they have faced some challenges due to weather and uncharted services this is due to be completed by Friday 8 November. The sewer separation on Moor Crescent and Barnard Avenue is being worked on over the coming weeks.

Pithouse Lane, West Rainton

The work to install new manholes in the highway is now complete and the traffic management will be removed from 15:00pm today. Next week the team will begin work on preparing the new CSO, ready for installation over the coming weeks.

Stanghow Road, Lingdale

Over the last couple of weeks, the team have set up the main compound area ready for work to begin. They have also created a stone road on Stanghow Road to allow entrance into the working area. Next week the team will be working on surveying manholes and drainage. If you see them in the area why not say hello!

Etherley Dene, Bishop Auckland

Although the team are working hard in the background, you won’t see them working in the road for the next few weeks due to urgent third-party work in the area. We understand how busy the roads can be this time of year and didn’t think it practical to have two companies working so close together at once. As always, the team and I will keep you updated when our work progresses.  

Finchale View, West Rainton

Work on Finchale View will begin WC 04 November, over the next week the team will be setting up the compound area and bringing in the required materials for work to begin.

Thank you for your time, have a great weekend!

Rachel and Alice

Etherley Lane Environmental Improvement Project

Morning all, 

This week i have had the pleassure to speak to many of the residents in the area to discuss the upcoming environmental improvement project in the Etherley Lane vicinity.

This work will help protect the environment and ensure that our sewer network continues to serve the community effectively.

I can confirm that the improvement work is planned to commence on Monday 14^th October 2024.

Esh/Stantec will undertake this construction work which will comprise:

• Surface water separation within Barrington Meadows.
• 200m of new 225mm surface water sewer within Etherley Lane.

The creation of additional surface water sewer and combined sewer capacity will reduce the impact of rainfall on the sewer network protecting the environment through the resulting reduction in Storm Overflow operation.

The schematic which shows the proposal and working areas has been uploaded. We anticipate that our work will take up to 5 Months and a phased approach will be adopted with completion anticipated in April 2025 however, as with all civil engineering construction projects, unexpected delays can sometimes occur. I would like to thank you in advance for your cooperation while we complete this essential work.

Thank you 

Rachel

Good morning

This week the team will be installing the new hydro brake into the existing manhole on Moor Crescent. Unfortunately the heavy rain has caused a change in the plans, but the team are working hard to be back on track. The temporary diversion will be installed to enable the construction of a new manhole and to allow the completion of the remainder of pipeline.

In the up coming coming weeks the team will be working on the installation of the storm drainage.

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

Thank you for your time

Rachel

Good morning

As you may have seen on Thursday 5 September 2024 the road closure on Moor Crescent was repositioned to the junction close to the field entrance. Due to the location of the work vehicles are not able to follow the road around on Moor Crescent and we expect this section of work to be completed by 20 September 2024.

Parking will be restricted while work is caried out and we thank you for your patience and understanding while we complete these works. 

The team have continued to install pipe work this week as well as preparing the chamber and connections for further works.

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