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.

Update by Kevin McGargle

Good Morning, id just thought id give a brief overview of our works this week and into the New Year.

1. Miller Close killingworth - the new water main has been installed and the site backfilled and reinstated for the break, we do however have to return on the 3rd of January to chlorinate & test the new pipe to then complete the final connection works.

2. Ongoing trial holes at Salters lane Killingworth so that we can finalise some design work to be completed today and the TM removed .

3. Commence today a 2 day trial hole at Bamburgh Road Killingworth (opposite the chippy), this will determine the position of existing services in the area.

From the site team at MMB we would like to thank you for your patience whilst we are carrying out the works and would like to wish you and your family a merry christmas and happy new year.

Kind Regards

Kevin McGargle - Site Manager
