[ad_1]

The first phase of the 1.9km South Bank Watercourse is complete – and now ZTL Contracting, part of the Applebridge Family, is getting to work on the second phase of work with machinery on site.

The system will initially help manage the large volumes of water draining from the 90-acre SeAH Wind Ltd turbine monopile manufacturing facility.

An intertidal salt marsh habitat will become part of the project in the third phase of the scheme.

Martin Corney, CEO of Teesworks, said: “As we have for many months, we’re really seeing progress on projects taking shape across the Teesworks site – with the South Bank Quay build nearing completion, and remediation of land continuing at pace.

“It’s always a great pleasure for us to have local contractors working at Teesworks. This watercourse is important for keeping water moving through to the Tees, and I’m pleased to see Teesside firms taking on the job.”

The work to realign Holme Beck and Knitting Wife Beck is creating around 3.5km of new surface water channels.

The final phase of the project will see a new inter-tidal area designed to gather tidal sediment which, over time, will create around two acres of salt marsh habitat.
