Hello, and thank you for taking the time to read our first update since Esh-Stantec began establishing the site working area.
Since 29 June, our teams have been working hard setting up the site compound and associated working areas. During the first week, site cabins and generators were delivered, and perimeter fencing was installed to secure the site.
We are committed to keeping disruption to the local community to an absolute minimum. To help achieve this, we have implemented a solar-powered battery generator, which will significantly reduce the amount of time the generator is required to operate. The generator is programmed to run only during working hours, between 8:00am and 4:00pm, Monday to Friday.
This week, work has continued completing the site compound, and construction of the access ramp and haul road to the beach is now underway.
We recognise that the delivery of the excavator resulted in some temporary delays along Dunstanburgh Road while the machine was unloaded and moved safely into the site. We apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused and would like to thank residents and road users for their continued patience and understanding.
We will continue to provide weekly updates as the project progresses and appreciate the community's ongoing support. If you have any questions, please leave a comment, and a member of project team will get back to you at the earliest opportunity.
Thank you,
The Project Team
