At the request of Mouchel, a safety inspection of the temporary road and footway structures was undertaken by Alun Griffiths’ specialist sub-contractor. There were no reported concerns but the loose (noisy) carriageway panels, identified during the inspection, will be tightened by Alun Griffths.
The working platform for the piling plant has been extended to accommodate the piling operations through spans 1 – 4 (see photograph 4 below).
Alun Griffths’ nominated piling sub-contractor established their piling equipment in Span 1, in readiness to start piling operations next week.
Alun Griffths commenced damming operations to Spans 9-11 which were delayed from the previous week because of additional piling operations

The heavy weekend rainfall breached the existing damming arrangements and flooded the site (see photograph 1 below). The flooding delayed site operations by approximately one day; a delay that will not affect the delivery of the overall project.

Generally mild with heavy showers.

The damming works to existing spans 9, 10 and 11 will continue.
Subject to the progress of the damming works (above), demolition of spans 9 to 11 will start together with the removal of the demolition debris.
Piling operations will commence on the eastern abutment (Span 1) progressing at approximately 2 piles per day.
Alun Griffths’ pre-casting sub-contractor, will mobilise pre-casting operations at Downton Industrial Estate. The casting and associated concreting activities are due to start on the 16^th July.
Implementation of Phase 1 of the diversionary scheme involving the “Headlands Junction” and associated diversionary routes (delayed works), will be undertaken by Ringway Infrastructure Services.
