We would like to provide you with an update on our Bury St Edmunds to Colchester pipeline project.
Great news, pipelaying is now completed. We are focusing on reinstating land and where possible, returning it to landowners.
To allow us to continue our work safely, removing access points at key locations, we will still need to close certain roads during this time. Any closures will be communicated to local parishes, residents and businesses at least 14 days in advanced,
On the south section between Bury St Edmunds and Colchester pipelaying is completed with, 69km of pipe in the ground. Reinstatement and land drainage are also being carried out at various locations.
We expect reinstatement works to be completed by late 2025. Pipe swabbing (washing) of the pipeline will also take place around the same time.
You may still see a small number of our teams working at key locations up and down the pipeline, as we are preparing the commissioning phase of the project. This is the last stage before the clean fresh water enters the network. We expect this to be fully completed by Summer of 2027.
The replanting of trees and hedgerows is ongoing. The site team expect this work to be completed across the project by late 2027 at all locations. These works will also be supported by a five-year period of aftercare.
If you require any further information, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. We are always happy to speak with parishes or attend meetings if needed. We would be grateful if you could share this update more widely.
Kind Regards
Dan Stewart.
