Good morning,

I am pleased to provide the final update -  the civils work on the project is now complete. we have arranged for NWG to carry an inspection which is booked in for 12th April. Until this time the fencing will be staying up so the reservoir will still remain closed off and hopefully we get some warm dry weather in the coming weeks and we will be able to carry out the landscaping.

On behalf of NWG and JN Bentley I would like to thank you all for your patients while the work has been carried out and I hope you all have a lovely Easter break.

If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to leave a message or contact us.

Good afternoon,

A quick update  - As the project is coming to an end and the commissioning of the siphon on Monday the 22nd and Thursday 25th January was very successful and without any major disruptions or incidents which is great news. You will be pleased to know that the site is due to be de-commissioned over the coming weeks so you may see a little more activity than normal but hopefully with no disruptions to Colwell Village and surrounding areas, as long as everything runs smoothly and goes to plan we should of vacated site no later than the end of March.

If you have any questions please leave a post below and we will get in touch.

Thank you

Julie

Good afternoon,

I hope you all have had a lovely Christmas and a Happy New Year

I would just like to provide you with an update on the project here at West Hallington, we have made good progress after the Christmas break and we are on with the dry comissioning, as most of you are aware we have the wet comissioning of the siphon coming up, we now have the dates for this which are Monday 22nd January 2024 and then again on Thursday 25th January 2024, we are not anticipating any major disruptions, as a precuation you will see temporary traffic lights on the side of the road but these will only be used if neccessary.

In the meantime if you have any issues or concerns please do not hesitate in leaving a comment below or contacting myself.

Many thanks

Julie

Good afternoon,

In response to the comment on the previous update earlier today - I am pleased to advise that the pot hole to the entrance to the site has now been repaired. If you have any further enquiries please leave a comment below or contact us on the details provided.

Good morning,

I'd just like to start this update by introducing myself! My name is Julie Oakley, I am the new Customer Liaison Officer for MMB taking over from Joan and will be conducting the engagement with our customers and posting regular updates going forward!

Since our last update and after all the wet and cold weather we have made great progress on the reservoir and nearing the end of our project, up to now we have completed the stone works/gabion baskets, installed the crest chamber cover, backfilled around the discharge chamber, kiosk has been installed, the portadam removed, all pipework is in and has been pressure tested.

I have been out and about around the village of Collwell hand delivering letters, I have also placed a leaflet in the notice board located at the local bus stop to advise of the commissioning of the siphon in early to mid-January and the potential impact it will have, if you have any concerns or queries please do not hesitate in contacting us or leave a comment below.

From all of us at Northumbrian Water & MMB we wish you a very 

Morning everyone, the team have made great progress despite very challenging weather conditions so here is where we are currently.

• The Portadam has had daily inspections every morning.
• They had continued with the stone pitching for the crest embankment.
• The copings stones have been laid at the top of the stone ready for the gabion baskets.
• Gabion baskets have now been made up and started to fill with stone.

Here are some photos for you to have a look at, feel free to get in touch with any questions.

Morning Everyone

Well I thought I'd let you see how the works were progressing and how MMB are so proud of our Health & Safety work ethic. Mark and his team are doing a great job.

Take a look, click on the pen emoji next to the photos.

Don't forget any questions we would be happy to answer them.

Good Morning

Well what's going on with this weather, it's so mixed...... however, it hasn't detered the team from moving on with the project here is where we are todate:-

• The regular H&S visit's have been going really well, to date no issues.
• The intake base is just waiting for a dry spell so as to apply the sealant.
• Daily morning inspections are taking place on the Portadam
• Grouting on the pipework supports are on going on the crest embankment
• The build-up of clay and stone pitching on the embankment continues, weather dependant!
• The discharge chamber needs the steel work to be finished 

So as you can read there has been a lot going on.

Here is a quick snap shot of the works.

Thanks again for your understanding

Hello

Hope you are enjoying this lovely weather we are having. 

Here is an update of where we are this month, sorry about the technical issue regarding my previous post, it would seem the size of it was just too much for the system to handle. Hope you enjoy the photos instead and feel free to drop me a line should you want clarification on anything.....

• The crest chamber is all cleared and tidy and the walls have started to be painted.
• The crest embankment  has had a test panel of stone pitching created ready for checking, the steel shutters and pipe support has been conducted. A concrete pour for the thrust block and the pipe support. Some of the much has also been taken place to make room for the new chamber.

Here are some photos for you to check out.
