Wapping Burn Rising Main Replacement

Northumbrian Water are working with communities to proactively manage flood and pollution risk. We are committed to providing a high quality service and have identified an opportunity to improve our sewer network to reduce the risk of pollution events from the rising main which runs in close proximity to the Wapping Burn water course.

Update by Anthony Birkett

Hi Everyone

Last week was a good week for us!

The Northern Team successfully completed the necessary testing of the pipes to enable them to move on the next task. The next task will involve reinstating the verge and installing a chamber in the junction with Doxford Drive. Traffic Management continues as it has been for sometime at this location.

The Southern Team is moving along Whitehouse Way at a good pace. This morning, as planned, we start crossing Whitworth Road. Once the crossing is complete, they will then carry on up Whitehouse Way until they meet the Northern Team.

Hope you enjoy your week

Tony
