Yorkshire Water, Eggborough Treatment Works

Yorkshire Water needed concrete footways installed around their Eggborough Treatment Works in Selby. Restricted access and live services running across the site ruled out the usual approach to setting out.

Yorkshire Water needed concrete footways installed around their Eggborough Treatment Works in Selby. Restricted access and live services running across the site ruled out the usual approach to setting out.

The scope was straightforward: remove 200mm of topsoil and form concrete footways around the perimeter. The programme was two weeks.

Live utilities were the constraint that shaped how the job was done. Steel pins aren't appropriate near active services, so timber pegs and edgings were used to form the footway boundaries instead. Topsoil was excavated and removed by dumper, edgings were set, A393 mesh laid, and C35 concrete poured, pokered, brush-finished and trowel-edged. Timber stripped once cured.

Done in ten days. The client said the team was professional throughout, handled the site constraints without delays, and produced exactly what was needed. They've used Civcon on Yorkshire Water work since.
