GENERAL PROJECT

Warkworth Stanners SPS Refurbishment

Warkworth Stanners Sewage Pumping Station (SPS) is in close proximity to the River Coquet and is prone to flooding, therefore it requires an upgrade to comply with NWG’s commitment to deliver investment that increases its wastewater resilience. We will be investing £600k refurbishing the SPS to protect the environment in Warkworth, and work will be undertaken together with our supply partner, RetroFlo.

Good Evening

Following the start of our works at The Stanners, the team on site have made great progress (even when the snow tried its best to slow us down) and are continuing with the works on site.

We have established the site compound area, then started the excavation of the chambers and pipework around the below ground pumping station. We will continue this work up until the break for the Christmas period. We will provide further details about this Christmas period in due course. 

If there are any further questions in the meantime, please do let us know

Morning, as per our recent communication of essential work we’ll be carrying out at Warkworth Stanners Sewage Pumping Station (SPS), we wanted to provide you with an update.

As with all construction projects, unexpected delays can sometimes occur. On this occasion, we took a last minute opportunity to have further discussions with Natural England, in line with the latest policy and regulations, to ensure the project could be delivered to the highest environmental standards. These discussions have been positive and we wanted to let you know that our work will now take place from 11 November 2024, for approximately 4 months.

This will include a break over the festive period, during which we will substantially demobilise from site, returning in the New Year.

You may notice that we have now accommodated the works 15 spaces at The Stanners car park that will be unavailable during this time and reallocated 4 alternative parking spaces for blue badge holders for the duration of the works.

Hi Everyone

Following the work we have been doing alongside our contractor, RetroFlo, we now have the final design for the essential refurbishment works to our underground Sewerage Pumping Station (SPS) at Warkworth Stanners and will be starting on site Thursday 3rd October.

As a reminder, the works will involve repair and refurbishment work to the SPS and conversion work to create a wet well and take up to four months to complete. Whilst the works are being undertaken, we will need to take around 15 car parking spaces to allow for our cabins and machinery. We have re-allocated parking spaces, as required, following discussions with Northumberland County Council. 

In the meantime, if you have any queries or comments or would like to speak to someone from the project team please get in touch using the ‘Contact us’ button at the top of the page. We’d really like to hear from you.
