July Developments Part II

The concrete pours in the 2 day area were completed on July 20th involving Scarlet, one of the B&V subcontrators for this project.

In the 21 day area, design of the connections was reconsidered with a manhole incorporated. Complex existing services below the ground were also found, presenting a temporary logistical nightmare which was later dealt with.

The handover certificate for the manholes in order to begin work on the thickener building were handed to B&V from Yorkshire Water and it may be noted that to ensure quality, all man holes were dug by hand so as to prevent any potential risk that may have ensued from the use of an excavator.

Particular focus was given to meeting programme timescales

"Quality is never an accident; it is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, intelligent direction and skillful execution, it represents the wise choice of many alternatives"

- William A Foster

July Developments

Fill to the 2 day area is substantially completed with trimming of the 2 bases to be undertaken when the valve chamber contruction is complete.

In the 21 day area, the pipelines are progressing with the bulk of the excavation works completed.

With regards to health and safety, the roadways are marked up with requirements to paths and access to be implemented with a fully developed traffic management plan by the end of the month
