Proposed raw water main route drawings - I wanted to share with visitors to the community portal the proposed route alignment for our new raw water main. The proposed route has been developed following extensive ecological surveys, engineering considerations and land owner engagement. We welcome your feedback on the route and any observations you may have. We will of course be happy to share the output of our surveys and investigations and many of these will support our forthcoming EIA Screening request to both Colchester Borough Council and Maldon District Council.  

Our Framework Partner Allied Exploration and Geotechnics (AEG) has been completing Ground Investigation work along the route of pipeline in recent weeks. This work includes an assessment of ground conidtions through which the proposed pipeline will be routed. The work is carried out using specialist equipment to drill holes up to 15m in depth into the ground to determine the underlying conditions and ensure the ground is suitable for the pipeline.
