Good Morning All,

Here is our (MMB) update........

Denton Road

Whilst we move along Denton Road we have need to introduce some Traffic Management, it will only be for two weeks so please be that little more vigilant.

Great Lime Road

Kevin and the team have been out and about along GLR testing the ground conditions and this morning you will notice they are working in Miller Close. Thank you to the residents there, we hope to be away by the end of next week. I am sure Kevin will update you on the work later.

I just wanted to say Thank You to the Landlady of Wheatsheaf pub your patience has been fantastic with us during the work there.

Please feel free to ask us any questions you may have about the work either via the portal or us the "Contact Us" button at the top of the page.

Portal Update Week Ending 30th November 2018

Glasshouse Bridge

26th November 2018

Arborists report for the removal of trees at Glasshouse Bridge was delivered to Newcastle City Council and Northumbrian Water are awaiting a response to his proposals.

28th November 2018

A meeting was held with Chris Donaldson (Newcastle Enterprise Centre) and the works and duration was discussed and agreed. This work will be undertaken within the car park area.

Peter Coulson (Newcastle Council Bridge Engineer) was consulted about the proposed works and its duration and he will visit site once it is in progress.

Lobley Hill Road, Gateshead

26th November 2018

A connection off the 180mm mains was undertaken and the excavations were permanently reinstated. The 3 way temporary signals at the junction of Swallow Tail Drive and Lobley Hill Road were removed.

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.

Good Afternoon,

Works currently being reinstated for the weekend to open the footways to the public, the chlorination of the 32mm water main was carried out yesterday and we anticipate this being sampled on monday. final connections to the main on Whiteley Road will commence next tuesday however we have located the main to be 2m deep therfore we will be installing shoring in the highway, this will mean we should now be complete in the area by Friday tea time.

Kind Regards

Good Morning

As you may have noticed we have now started our works on the corner of Whitley Road/ Great Lime Road at the Wheatsheaf Public House in the footway to lay a new length of 32mm diameter water main, this will disconnect the current supply and feed from the nearby 8" main, the excavation works are a little slower than expected due to a high number of fibreoptic and electric cables present in the ground.

The works will run until the end of next week in this area, i will keep you updated as the works proceed.

Kind Regards

Portal Update WE. 9.11.18

The 90mm open cut started on Dalton Street on Monday 5th November and will progress through the week.

The reinstatement has started on the 90mm open cut on Corbridge Street and the under pressure tee is planned for Thursday 15th November (pm).

A sample has been taken at Corbridge Street (NE08) on Friday 9th November prior to connections next week.

Good Afternoon,

As I promised here are some photos from the "Ice Pigging" we did in Gateshead last week.

Good Afternoon,

A short but sweet update from the MMB team........

Denton Road     -       Yes, we have broken ground and you will have noticed we are currently setting up the site and compound.

Salters Lane      -       Kevin and the team started the work as planned however, we found a lot of utility services which need to be addressed

Gateshead        -       Last night the "ice pigging" went well, forcing ice through the trunk mains to clean, is so effective. I hope to send you some photos in due course.

We just want to thank you all for your patience during the work.

Don't forget to ask us any questions you may have we would be only too happy to help.
