Good afternoon,

We are progressing well with our pipeline from Longnewton to Goosebeck with the vast majority of rising main pipework installation including pressure testing.

With our pipeline easement fencing complete, we have commenced with topsoil strip from Goosebeck to Middleton One Row in preparation for welding together pipes for works up to Mill Lane. Directional Drill works under/across Mill Lane have been complete; and the team have installed a temporary stone material laydown area. The west side of Mill Lane topsoil stripping has begun in preparation of the rising main excavation and installation.

Gravity drainage has continued and completed up to the HP/Discharge Chamber including the manholes themselves. Work on the rising main including the gravity sewer will continue into the coming weeks as well further investigation works within the area. 

Please contact us direct if you have any questions at nwl.customer@esh.uk.com

Thank you  

Rachel

Good morning

You may have seen our team working around Middleton back road installing fencing including post, wire and rail depending on the location, this allows us to keep our working area separate and to maintain a safe distance while we work alongside an archaeologist.

Excavation and installation of the Rising Main works are continuing with directional drilling across Long Newton Lane. Pressure testing will be completed once sections of the work are finalised. Installation of the gravity drainage will continue into the next few weeks.

Have a lovely weekend!

Good afternoon,

The crew continue to lay pipework throughout the scheme and are back filling as they go through farm land to minimalise disruption. Post and rail fencing has been completed in all areas.

The gravity section is in progress, with the team recording any land drains they come across and providing the information to the relevant parties.

Good morning,

We now have two teams working on the easement fencing, one working on post and rail and the other post and wire, both work will be complete by Friday 30 August 2024. 

The team continue to work with third party companies to make sure nesting birds are a priority. Vegetation has been cleared at Yarm Road ready for work to begin Monday 2 September 2024.

A top soil strip through farmers land has been completed and the crew have begun to lay pipe in the ground.

Easement fencing and gates continue to be erected in preparation for the rising main work.

Good morning,

Following on from the previous update the earthworks and stoning up operations have continued, and the team have excavated and installed the temporary stone access road down to the proposed working easement. The team have also installed the temporary timber bog mats as protection to the HP gas main at the entrance to Longnewton.

The existing access track has been excavated and widened to form a public walkway, followed by installation and construction of our stone temporary site compound set up.

Heras fencing and posts along with weld mesh gates has been installed for security. Asbestos pre-demolition surveys to Longnewton & Goosebeck have been completed including BSG Ecology attended site on Wednesday 5 June to carry out a Bat climb to the tree alignment.

Thank you for your time!

Good afternoon,

Hope everyone is keeping well.

It’s been a while since our last update but as you may have seen the team have now completed earthworks and stoning up operations forming our temporary site compound area at Goose Beck. They continue to set up the temporary compound with heras fencing and weldmesh access gates.

There maybe a little more traffic than usual while the team take deliveries of materials and the site office and welfare unit is set up, but they will keep disruption to a minimum. 

We will endeavour to update this portal with information as work progresses.

Thank you for your time.

Rachel
