Update by Mark Robinson
Morning everyone,
We've made some good progress again this week and have moved down to the lower end of Deptford Terrace, between Liebherr and Go North East. Another three trial holes underway with some interesting findings. Samples are being taken to test the material we are excavating for potential contamination. This will lead to changes in the pipe material we use and method of work should we recieve positive results.
Traffic Management appears to be working nicely and we are regularly talking to neighbouring businesses to ensure they are informed of changes in access and diversions.
All being well, we'll be moving across to the start of Hanover Place (outside the Saltgrass pub) from late Tuesday 16th October. Local access to businesses will be maintained at all times and we will work with everyone to minisie disruption. It should take us approximately 2 weeks to get up Hanover Place, before we commence the main pipe installation.
You will also see we have started work in the verge of Deptford Terrace, adjacent to the Queen Alexander bridge. This is one of the main connections to the existing water main, where a Flowmeter will be installed and bypass pipeline. So far, we have established a small compound and exposed the buried pipe. Next week, we'll begin preparation to cut out and make ready the new sections and components to install.
