Update by Roger Smith

Good Afternoon,

I thought I would take this opportunity to introduce my self, I am Roger Smith, Project Manager for Northumbrian Water and I will be looking after this project throughout it's life.

Designs are sufficiently progressed for us to make a start within the main Works on Monday 8 April 2019.

You may notice a degree of increased activity, with more vehicles using the main gate, this has been a Minor Works Contract for refurbishment of the existing welfare building, which will be finished in a weeks time. Two reasons for the latter; firstly to provide up-to-date facilities for our maintenance teams during their regular visits, and secondly to reduce the number of portable cabins required by our Contractor during the coming months

This not only keeps the cost down, it also reduces the number of HGV movements, and results in fewer CO2 emissions.

Early works on the main Contract will include topsoil scrape and storage, bringing in granular material for site access roads, lifting the (smaller number of) cabins into position, and forming a temporary parking area. All within the existing fence line.

We have few , if any, demolitions to carry out. So the loudest noise you’re likely to hear should be a wagon coming in-and-out of the entrance !!

If you have any questions about the project please do not hesitate to contact me either using the portal or using the "contact us" button at the top of the project page.
