Hello all,

Please see below updates for Burn Road Sea Outfalls.

Short Sea Outfall – SSO

Works are progressing at a rapid pace on the SSO. Approval has been granted to skim the entire structure with specialised materials, to allow the structure an extra 10 years or more of protection against the sea and weather. The scaffold is being rearranged on Tuesday 27th May to allow access to the lower SSO walls. The pad to the front of the SSO has been repaired, the old concrete cut out and existing steel work treated and sealed.

Long Sea Outfall – LSO

The tide has been against us all week with limited opportunities to do any works on the LSO. That being said, since we came to site on the 31st March we have made excellent progress and had to rewrite the programme many times as we are now more than a year ahead. Of the 15 total supports we had to remove and replace, we have completed all upper supports, removed wooden ones and replaced with galvanised supports, 7 in total. 5 lower supports removed including shoes / pipe supports and replaced with new galvanized supports and shoes, 3 left to install. We have also removed various supports along the length of the LSO upper and lowers to accommodate the new encapsulating collars that are being fitted.

Long Sea Outfall – LSO

After removing the lower and upper supports for our first encapsulation collar it became clear that the underside of the pipe had deteriorated massively and the standard 600mm long collar would not be enough to cover the void and the existing pipe joint. The new collar has been made and onsite the very next day so an amazing turn around. First encapsulation collar installed, 2 more to left to install of the total 3 required.

Should you have any questions please comment on this page or contacts us at NWL.Customer@esh.uk.com.

Thank you for your time.
