Embankment construction works on pause over winter

Our contractors, BAM, completed the sheet piling work on Friday 1 November, so there will be no more noise or disruption from this element of the work.

We then focussed on the earth embankment construction and have completed as much of this as possible whilst the weather remained favourable. The embankment is now around 25% complete on the east side, and around 50% complete on the west side. We have now stopped this work for the winter and will be returning in February 2026 (weather dependent).

There will be BAM presence on site over the winter and smaller activities such as landscaping, access maintenance, environmental and site monitoring will continue.
