WATER NETWORK IMPROVEMENT

Project Pipeline: County Durham and Tees Valley

This work will boost the resilience of supply links between our reservoirs and treatment works in Teesdale, and parts of central and southern County Durham. Our investment will increase reliability, reduce leakage and provide high quality drinking water for customers for decades to come. This phase of the project - Phase 1 - will construct a new replacement pipeline from Lartington Water Treatment Works to Gainford and a new strategic transfer main between Whorley Hill SR and Shildon SR.

Good afternoon

I’d like to introduce the latest two members of our Project Pipeline team – Zac Banham (pictured left) and George Hibbs (right), who have just completed the first year of their BEng degree in Civil Engineering.

They will be spending a year with Farrans on placement at our site just outside of Barnard Castle, gaining valuable work experience to see how their learning translates into real life scenarios. Afterwards, they’ll return to Salford University to complete two further years of study.

It’s a real pleasure to cultivate new talent on important infrastructure projects like this and we wish these guys every success!

Kind regards

Karen Alexander

Farrans’ Stakeholder and Social Value Co-ordinator
