Good afternoon,

The drainage outlet pipework from the flow meter chamber to the wet well chamber is ongoing with the air valve and washout chambers nearing completion.

As mentioned in the last update the gravity sewer pipework is now installed to the west side of the main railway line with a haul road created from the public highway to achieve access for the manhole construction.

Direction Drilling works for the Rising Main sewer pipe continue between Plawsworth Sewerage Treatment Works and Hagg House Farm in agricultural land, with parts of the drilling completed and successfully installed.

The team have now drilled and installed pipework which incorporates drilling beneath A167M carriageway and up to the position of the proposed air valve chamber at top of hill.

Between Brasside Sewerage Treatment Works and Brasside Pumping Station pipework and chambers have been laid. To date approximately 528m of 400mm diameter gravity sewer has been installed and 5 new manholes constructed.

As you may have seen we have felled 15 large Poplar Trees adjacent to houses at Harvest View with an Ecologist present while the trees were removed. We will continue to keep residents in the area updated of any changes.

Despite the recent bad weather, we’re continuing to make progress with the installation of rising main and gravity sewer along various sections of the pipeline. Yesterday we successfully installed one of two rising mains under the A167 using  Directional Drilling methods. The drilling machine (Ditch Witch) located adjacent Pity Me Nursery sends an initial pilot drill hole beneath the A167 going west to east. Using an under pressure biodegradable drilling slurry, this keeps the drilled hole open while we attach a larger drill head which ‘back reams’ the hole to the size of the pipe.  Once the hole is ready to receive the new pipe, the Ditch Witch winches the welded plastic pipe back through the drill hole displacing the slurry.
