Tyneside Water Main Cleaning

Our water mains cleaning programme of works has been ongoing now for five years and to date, we have achieved 221km of cleaning works to our mains. There are a number of pipe sections that we still need to clean, with a total length of 9.0km. We are starting this work in August 2018 and anticipate completion in the Apri 2021.

Good Afternoon

We have now commenced the works in Whiteley Road Killingworth to connect onto the existing main with the new supply, the main is 2m deep and the road has been built up over numerous years so you will see shoring equipment and a breaker attachment working on the excavator.

We hope to do the connection this thursday lunch time which will allow us to backfill and reinstate the road for the weekend (weather permitting).

I will keep you updated as the work proceeds.

Kind Regards

Kevin McGargle

Site Manager.
