North Level IDB

@YewHev Thank you. We will try and get this addressed today.

@Northlevelidb Hi, there is a child's plastic Wendy house floating on the main drain between the black dike bridge and the church Lane Bridge.

@cjd55yorkie Yes. This drain is in an area that has, until now, not benefited from an IDB drain in close proximity. This project will allow for more effective drainage in the West Side Marshes.

@Northlevelidb Top level ditching . Interesting that there's no obvious drainage system in place. Is the new ditch being dug to facilitate one? Whereabouts is that?

Always satisfying to cut a new drain!

Not bad for a days work!!!!

Some of our team taking part in PASMA training last week.

Replacing an old railway culvert that ran beneath the Spalding to March railway line. They certainly knew how to build things to last! Its demolition took some effort!

Our operatives have wide skill set. Here they demonstrate the methods used to maintain where machines can’t access.

The refurbishment of our Denhams Pumping Station earlier this week.

An icy start to 2026! If you look closely you can see the Boards’ machine working in the distance.

Wasn’t all Christmas celebrations today! We had time to sign write our 6” and 8” pumps that we took delivery of earlier in the year.

Before and after the wash-bay 🧽 💦

Weedscreen bars going back in at Mouth Lane Pumping Station this morning as part of the stations major refurbishment.

Some pictures of our PSCA works with the @EnvAgency at the River Nene downstream of Dog in a Doublet. The current dredging of the channel is being carried out whilst the dry silt from the previous cycle of dredging is levelled and formed into widening the flood defence bank.

Rainfall for yesterday totalled 44.2mm at our depot in the centre of the district. The 7 day total is currently 67.7mm.

Working with ADC to carry out weedcutting in inaccessible locations this week.

Once flailing is finished our machines change their flail heads for weedbaskets and commence weedcutting many drains that were traditionally cleared by hand.

The second pumping station was commissioned last week. This is part of an ambitious programme to refurbish 6 pumping stations before the end of March 26!

First working day of November and we are nearly wrapped up with the flailing! Progress so far for our three operators who have been hard at it since the start of August!

Some pictures from our cutting season….
