What we are doing
Sewer lining works
We are progressing with our utility protection and strengthening works on Bridgwater Road.
We wrote to you in December 2022 let you know about our plans to carry out the sewer lining works in Bridgwater Road from 30 January. These works have been rescheduled and will now take place from 27 February to 5 March 2023. This is due to recent wet weather we’ve experienced in the last month.
The works will be carried out in a programmed sequence, which involves:
• Isolating and cleaning the sewer using a jet wash vehicle;
• Sewer survey works;
• 24-hour over pumping system to transfer water and control the sewage flow to ensure your utility services are uninterrupted during construction;
• Deliveries of the linings (on two occasions);
• Installing sewer lining via a conveyor belt; and
• Post survey of the lining works once the work is completed.
Once the curing (hardening) process commences, it cannot be stopped and will be continuous for a period of 12-18 hours. This process will be repeated for the second section of the sewer lining works.
How these works might affect you
The work will be undertaken throughout the day and night for a period of six days. In order to minimize noise, the works are scheduled so that the noisiest activities happen during normal daytime hours. However, it is possible that there could be delays resulting in some works extending into the evening and night-time hours.
Noise mitigation
Every effort will be made to carry out the noisiest work early in the shift.
• Acoustic Blankets will be used on Heras panels to reduce noise levels;
• Plant and equipment will be switched off when not in use;
• Operatives will be briefed on control measures; and
• Radios will be used used for communication to keep voices low;
We would like to apologise in advance for any disruption or inconvenience this may cause. Every effort is being taken to ensure that these works are carried out in the least impactful way. We will ensure that disruption is kept to a minimum.
Closure of Bridgwater Road
The sections of the sewer lining and water main replacement on Bridgwater Road are predominately under the railway bridge and across the playing field. Space constraints and the location of utilities here means a road closure is necessary to allow the work to be completed safely.
The northern footpath also needs to be closed but we will leave the southern footpath open. Access on foot to Carmichael Close and the adjacent flats will be maintained. There will need to be construction site entrances at the northern and southern ends of the railway bridge.
There will be a diversion route during the road closure. The diversion will be fully signed and managed at both ends of the closed section. The diversion route will be through West End Road south to Station Approach and via Victoria Road.
