WATER NETWORK IMPROVEMENT

Project Pipeline: County Durham and Tees Valley

This work will boost the resilience of supply links between our reservoirs and treatment works in Teesdale, and parts of central and southern County Durham. Our investment will increase reliability, reduce leakage and provide high quality drinking water for customers for decades to come. This phase of the project - Phase 1 - will construct a new replacement pipeline from Lartington Water Treatment Works to Gainford and a new strategic transfer main between Whorley Hill SR and Shildon SR.

Good afternoon

In recent months, our pipelaying teams have been making excellent progress. If you travel around the County Durham and Tees Valley countryside, you will probably have noticed huge stretches of ground where we’ve cleared the topsoil, excavated the trenches and have now welded together and installed lengths of new pipe.

Our calculations have shown that, as of 19^th April, we’ve laid 11,239 linear metres of pipework. This represents 34% of the total required, which is 34km.

The image below is an aerial shot of a completed section to the west of Whorley Hill.

Kind regards
