WINEP Great Ayton STW Storm Tank Capacity

Afternoon All.

Lets get up to speed with progress on the Great Ayton STW Storm Tank:

After the repairs to the surface water main and some assistance from the farmer it looks like the worst of the localised flooding has been addressed.

The access road and working area in the field immediately East/South-East of the treatment works has been completed. This involved erecting a perimeter fence to the work area, stripping the topsoil and laying geo-grid soil reinforcement and stone to create a robust access road and work area. The geo-grid soil reinforcement allowed a reduction in the thickness of the stone and so financial and environmental savings. Stone we don't use doesn't have to be produced or delivered.

Following the Christmas break, our specialist sub-contractor has arrived on site to commence installation of the shaft which will act as the new Storm Water Storage Tank. We have hit the ground running and hope to have the first two rings and jacking collar in place early next week.

We are also continuing a number of site investigations, from trial pits to duct surveys and ground water monitoring, to ensure we installing the most efficient solution possible.

That's all for now, thanks for taking the time to read and please have a look at the attached photos.
