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"
