Updates

We would like to inform you of our decision to defer this winter stoppage.

Following our previous update, we have still not successfully identified the service provider of the CI pipe present within the culvert.

Therefore, it has been decided to defer this stoppage and include it in a future winter stoppage programme to enable the team to establish the service provider.

We hope that this change doesn't cause any inconvenience

We would like to inform you that the dates of this stoppage have been altered. Further investigations have been required due to a potential coal mine, overhead service and CI Pipe within the culvert. It was important to determine if a mine shaft was present and discussions with Electricity Northwest who own the overhead service have taken place.

These additional measures have caused a delay in finalising plans for these stoppages and therefore resulted in the need for a revised start and end date.

We hope that this change doesn't cause you any inconvenience.

Description

A stoppage is required to carry out culvert lining, Douglas embankment repair and canal bed repair.
