Good Morning,

Oh my it's definitely Winter isn't it!!!

This weeks update:-

Treatment building: -

The 1st lift blockwork to the west and north-west of building externally is progressing although the weather is affecting progress however its allowed the skimming of welfare are to be complete a little quicker. The first fix of electrics is done too!

We are continuing to install the cabling within the building and the gantry work is very impressive as the photos shows, they house the cabling. 

The security doors have been installed on the north side.

Good Afternoon Folks,

Just been round the site with the Works Manager, it is impressive how things have progressed on in such a short time. 

Treatment Building:-

Our subbie completed the MCC internal blockwork and stripped the scaffold then continued fixing the ceiling and replacement of the roof boards. They finished off the stud walling to the west of the welfare canteen, the painters started the first coat in the building and welfare area. The 1st fix plumbing and electrical has also been completed inside the welfare room and for the toilet block. 

Althought the weather hasn't been too great, it hasn't hindered the progress of the project.

Today we have taken delivery of more site cabins to ensure our subbies and our team remain Covid safe, they are the new ones facing the B6525.

Good Morning Everyone,

Well what can I say, this crazy weather hasn't stopped the team from "cracking on" with this job.

The valve chamber pipework is all installed and the concrete work is now complete on the main building. The security covers are being fitted to the de-chlorination chambers, and some major components too....ie thrust blocks and pipe supports. The security doors to the treatment building have been fit and internal work has now started with the building with the plaster boarding to the kitchen along with the first fix of plumbing.

The weather certainly has been challenging to say the least and the team have certainly risen to that challenge.

Once again here are some photos.

Good Morning & Happy New Year,

Whilst the lockdown is in place, I thought to let you know it's business as usual for us and the team will continue to work adhering to government guidelines and we at MMB pride ourselves on our Health and Safety record as being excellent. However we do ask if you do wish to talk to the team please keep to the 2m distance.

Well this week you can notice the brickwork for the Treatment Building is flying up, the internal steel work is also moving on and its external ground works are taking shape.

We have completed all trackmat and gravel installation to the roof of the contact tank now and the subcontractor has sealed the flooring.

Here are a few photos

Good Afternoon,

Hope you are all keeping safe, here is the last update of 2020:-

Treatment building: -

The internal blockwork continues with the 2nd lift to the east side and the subcontractor has started installing the cable tray angle supports on the south side of the building.

Contact tank: -

Started the installation the pedestrian trackmats – 70% complete

Dechlorination chamber: -

Finished the installation on the tank and installed shutters for the walls. Poured the walls with 6.5m3 concrete

So, steady progress this week again, here are some photos of this weeks work. The team will be working up until 22nd then will make everything safe and secure and will leave for the festive break and return on January 4th 2021. 

It's been a crazy year for us all, however, the team wish you all the very best of health and happiness for the new year and for those who celebrate Christmas, a Very Merry Christmas to you. 

Good Afternoon,

This morning I popped into the Industrial Estate to confirm our hours over the xmas period. We will be shut down with all security measures in place from Tuesday 22 December and will return Monday 4 January 2021.

It was lovely being out and about today even though the weather wasn't so good. 

I will post some new photos by the end of the week to show you things are progressing.

In the meanwhile stay safe.

Good Morning,

Hello,

It's me again.

All went to plan working at the weekend and we managed to push things along so the traffic lights have now been removed on the B6525..........hooray!!!!!

The work in the industrial is all located in one place now so access should be easier for the businesses.

Thank you again for your patience.

Joan

Good Afternoon,

Hope you are enjoying this strangely mild weather today!

Just following on from my update yesterday, I mentioned the work along the B6525, after speaking to the team it would seem to push this along to the finish line for Tuesday, Stephen and the lads will be working Saturday. As you know this is not the normal for us, we just want to ensure we keep to schedule for the programme of work.

With that in mind please ensure if you are out and about Saturday be mindful of us, and that little more vigilant if you are driving your safety is paramount to us always!

Thank you again for your understanding during the work, we do appreciate it.

Joan

Good Morning Everyone,

Here are some photos of this weeks progress, the roof is starting to take shape on the Treatment Building and the brickwork is progressing nicely.

The team have poured a 2nd round of concrete into the Waste Water pumping station.

The final leg is about there along the B6525 and we should be finished by Tuesday next week. All the tarmacing has been complete in the industrial estate which is just to pressure test.

Stay safe.

Joan
