The construction phase of this project is now complete.
There may still be updates, so the project will remain here. We are still monitoring the project and will reply to any comments. So if you have any questions please feel free to comment or contact us here.
Project to replace a failing pumping main from Throstles Nest Pumping Station, Shotton to a point adjacent to Swan Castle Farm.
Once construction work is underway, typical working hours will be Monday to Friday, between 8:00am and 5:00pm.
We have no plans to disrupt your water supply while we work this project.
Construction will cause some disruption but our Framework Partners will aim to minimise this where possible.
We do not envisage restricting access to properties.
We will provide updates online via the Community Portal, letters and through ward councillors.
No, our Framework Partners will manage construction to ensure that the public are protected from the hazard associated with constructing a new pipeline.
Northumbrian Water commit to returning the land to its previous condition, although it may take time for grass areas to re-establish.
These are all things that the construction will generate but ESH-Stantec will minimise these where possible so that residents are not impacted.
ESH-Stantec will manage keeping the roads clean during construction and this may include wheel washes and/or road sweepers depending on the conditions on site.
We do not envisage restricting residents from parking at their properties.
