Good Morning, we demobilised from Whitton bank earlier this year. We mentioned that we had top soiled and seeded the area. However, the weather turned, and the seeding wasn’t complete. The ground conditions are extremely wet.  We are hoping for a couple of weeks of dry weather to come along and finish off work. We will keep you updated and let you know once this is complete.

If you have any questions, please comment below.

Thanks

Hi

I hope you all remain well.

As you know, work started in May 2020 on a project to ensure that our sewer network continues to serve the Whitton community effectively. You may have seen the contractor tidying up the site over recent weeks and I am pleased to advise that the construction work is now complete. The highways have been reinstated, the temporary compound removed with the feild cultivated and sown, it will remain fenced off until the grass establishes. The working areas in the fields between Whitton and Murray Gardens have also been cultivated, seeded and these areas will remained fenced off as it will take time for the grass to fully establish. I appreciate your understanding while nature to takes its course, we will continue to monitor these areas over the coming months.

I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you for your patience and support throughout these construction works.

Kind Regards

Ian

Good afternoon I hope you are well and enjoyed the festive break.

Since returning on the 4th January the weather hasn't been on our side which inevitably means our progress has slowed and we now expect to be clear from site mid-February. Most activities are to be carried out as planned but some have been pushed back a week, as they need to be done when the temperatures are a bit warmer than freezing.

We will keep you posted on our progress, and if in the meantime you have any questions please don’t hesitate to use the contact us option at the top of the page, comment below or get in touch at SarahJayne.Parvin@JNBentley.co.uk.

Good afternoon all, time for another update ready for MMBs festive shut down which starts on Wednesday 23rd December till 4th January 2021.

Work has continued onsite at the pumping station and will continue when we return in the new year.  Our work for the first 3 weeks of the year will be within our site boundary and then week commencing 25th January we will start to remove cabins from the area and start the reinstatement of the area, which is programmed to take approximately 2 weeks.

We will keep you update of our progress in the new year.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your patience and understanding while we have been carrying out this essential work and would like to wish you a peaceful Christmas and New Year.

Thanks

Sarah

Good morning all, work has been progressing well since our last update. All the remedial works along Silverton Lane and Whitton Bank Road/Carterside road have now been complete. Work is predominantly focused in and around the pumping station. Which include construction of a Kiosk, the Valve Chamber and Pumping Station. Work will continue to tie all these pieces of equipment together. Alongside this we have constructed a 60-ton crane pad and the crane will arrive onsite Thursday for us to lift some of the equipment into place.

Good afternoon, following on from yesterday’s update I mentioned that this week we have been demobilising Silverton Lane working area. From Monday wagons will be collecting the muck from Silverton Lane compound as part of the clearing work. We will have a road sweeper visiting to keep the roads clean whilst we carry out these activities.

Thanks, and enjoy your weekend!

Don’t forget the clocks change and we all get an extra hour in bed on Sunday 😊

Good afternoon all,

Silverton Lane reopened on Friday 16th October as planned, after the tarmac resurfacing was complete throughout the week. This week we have been tidying up this area and are in the process of demobilising Silverton Lane working area.

Work continues to make good progress at the pumping station, last week completing activities such as grouting the collar, benching work in the shaft and installing scaffolding in the shaft to allow for the core drilling activity taking place this week.

The inlet pipe work to the pumping station has started, from Whitton Bank Road towards the pumping station.

Good afternoon all, hope your are well.

We would like to share a quick update of progress over the last month or so.

Work along Silverton Lane is nearly complete and we expect to have that reopened no later than the 16th October.

Reinstament works are underway at Whitton Farmstead and the verge works between Whitton Bank Road and Carterside Road. We will then move onto the next phase of reinstatements late October which include the field rear of Murray Gardens and Blue Leicester Field off Silverton Lane.

Work on the pumping station which we mentioned had started in our last update are making good progress, the shaft is now sunken to depth ready for the base to be poured.

I have included lots of pictures below showing our progress.
