The photos show the results of several surveys conducted, including:

• The kiosk survey designed to verify that the new installation would not leak or encounter future issues
• The panel survey to confirm compliance and adherence to our client’s asset standards
• The cover survey to ensure that fall arrest systems were in place and that the cover was manageable for a single person to lift
• The wet well survey to assess the pipework and pumps designated for replacement due to performance failures

The initial phase of the project involved replacing the existing cover to ensure a safe working environment for our engineers in the area. Given the presence of cobblestones, there was a significant risk of slips, trips, or falls, which needed to be mitigated. To address this hazard, we carefully removed the cobblestones and commenced the installation of a robust groundwork foundation. This ensured that the concrete would be solid and stable enough to support the new upstand cover. To prioritise safety, the entire work area was cordoned off, preventing any unauthorised access while the construction was in progress.

We then began to replace the kiosk and panel together to ensure compliance, and the site was still able to run with the existing equipment in the wet well to pump the station down.

We then moved on to the internal pipework inside the wet well, which needed to be removed in preparation for replacing the existing pipework and pumps.
