@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?
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!
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.
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!
