Forming part of the water company’s long-term commitment to strengthening water resilience for generations to come, Anglian Water is set to carry out work near Brigg for its flagship Strategic Pipeline project next month.
The work is being delivered by Anglian Water’s Strategic Pipeline Alliance, comprising leading partners Costain, Farrans, Jacobs, and Mott MacDonald Bentley (MMB). The Strategic Pipeline will eventually stretch hundreds of kilometres from Elsham in North Lincolnshire to Essex and is a key part of Anglian Water’s long-term plan to build resilience in one of the driest parts of the UK.
As part of the project, Anglian Water will be installing a pipeline beneath the A18 carriageway, which requires a road closure to allow the engineers in the alliance to work safely. The weekends have been chosen in close consultation with Lincolnshire Highways to minimise disruption to residents, businesses, and road users as much as possible.
Colin Wilkinson, Programme Area Manager at SPA, said: “These works are critical to enhancing the region’s resilience to climate change and water scarcity, ensuring we can continue to meet the needs of our growing region.
Anglian Water’s networks are getting the biggest upgrade of their time. With a plan worth over GBP 11bn, the water company is building for the better for the community and environment to keep taps flowing and toilets flushing now and for generations to come.
