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

We’re continuing to invest in new talent on the Project Pipeline site and have recently welcomed a third university placement student to our team, Ahmed Shehab.

Ahmed is studying for his BEng degree in Civil Engineering, having moved to the UK from Italy in 2019. He’ll be with us for a year, until June 2025 and is currently supporting the commissioning team, working on calculations and assisting with technical aspects of the pipeline using AutoCAD.

As well as graduating and building a career in engineering, Ahmed also has a keen interest in aeronautics and an ambition to gain his pilot’s licence.

Kind regards
