WJ Groundwater is pleased to announce its latest dewatering project in Blackpool – once the home of the tallest roller-coaster and one of the most recognizable buildings in the UK, the Blackpool Tower.

This project is based at Blackpool South and has been devised in order to improve the quality of the local bathing water and for flood protection. The capacity of the local sewer network is to be increased, and this includes updating one of the town’s pumping stations – Lennox Gate. and construction of a new storage tank at Fishers Field.

WJ Groundwater has been hard at work on a dewatering project for client, the McLaren Group at Bromley, Kent’s new state of the art shopping centre. Known as Bromley South Central and due for completion in late 2017, the project is being overseen and managed by Dr Mark Pickett.

Our new drill rig, Conrad, got to make ‘his’ project debut at one of the UK’s finest seats of learning and he pulled the job off with aplomb with a little help from his human pals, Mohammad Usman and Paul Judge!

The M74 Raith Interchange is part of a transport improvement scheme located in Scotland. Our client on this project is Ferrovial Lagan Joint Venture (FLJV) on behalf of Transport Scotland.

The first M74 project update appears in Issue 29 of The Wet End (available now from UK office!)

Both Phases 1 & 2 of the redevelopment of the Windermere Steam Boat Museum are now complete. The aim is to create a series of new buildings, at its shore side location on Lake Windermere, to house the exhibits, a conservation workshop and a new visitor centre.

WJ Groundwater completed the drilling and installation of the dewatering applications for Phase 1 in March 2016. Read our earlier blog.
