Form A has just been approved.

  12. RedhillAnglian Region • Central Area Individual Property Protection (IPP) Package • Provision of IPP to 234 properties located at three sites (between Milton Keynes and Cambridge).

ECC PM grateful for our full support.

  19. Current projects - ncpms • Truro ph3 Test ground anchors installed before Christmas and passed pull out tests OK Piles delivered – ready to start driving

  20. Current projects – ncpms • Taw Torridge Estuary Coastal Management Strategy • Won on the basis of using previous studies and expert judgement – to meet their objectives and no more. Alex doing a good job to manage the inputs • Parrett Sowy - proving difficult to get the right balance between spillway and bank levels to ensure left bank properties are not adversely affected

  21. Current projects – Area (selected) • Fairford (Thames Region). Jack running up to complete the PAR • Brue Fish Passes – made recommendations which now seem to be acceptable • Nadder River Restoration – survey delayed by Salmon spawning • Powderham Banks – finalising SI requirements • Wick FAS – Richard finalising prelim report • CDM-C jobs – David Widgery working on a number of Area projects, as well as all the ncpms jobs – Also assessing competency of EA Area staff as designers • Parrett Sowy (with ncpms) proving difficult to get the right balance between spillway and bank levels to ensure left bank properties are not adversely affected

  23. B&V - 24 West Quay Reconstruct wall over 15m above shear plane • Clad contiguous bored piles over 40m • 1m riverward of existing wall

  24. B&V - 25 Contiguous bored piles for main failed length Assumed mudstone rock below river bed

  25. SOMERSET COUNTY COUNCIL SLIDES Accepted as high risk but with potential to be cheaper Stage 1 Core holes through sprayed concrete face Including for drainage

  26. Install ground anchors – test and select the most effective for the substrate: various types are expected to be used Anchor sprayed concrete face

  27. Install dowels to concrete upstands

  28. Install permanent drainage pipes from new road gulleys with temporary tide flaps

  29. Install steel reinforcement

  30. Deploy concrete spraying A ‘Bay’ is expected to require around 60 tonnes of concrete

  31. Sprayed Concrete to finished facing profile with final anchor heads Fixing channels cast into face Drainage and starter bars in place for following work including FD upstand and anti-scour downstand

  32. West Quay – Phase 1 Section (looking south) of finished Phase 1 work in Bay Work will then be required to remove collapsed material below and in front of the sewer with further low level scour protection work - probably with sprayed concrete but also, possibly with grout bags and other measures

  33. Points to note • Take care setting TPM objectives for the quarter to give potential for higher scores – no more 5’s for excellence! • Change programme for Area staff structure will be significant and they will be slow to sort out the new posts. Expect slow service and delays in decision making • The ncpms and Area programmes are under-spent which is bad news. They will be looking to maximise spend up to 31 March.
