It's open!!
Thanks to @eduprincipal and @gsum66 for doing the honours and cutting the ribbon to officially open the new road through Canalside.
A huge thanks to Jason, Paul and all the team @foxowmby for all their hard work!
Our contractor @foxowmby have been hard at work today surfacing the Peglars Way junction to ensure it is ready for the @BadgerPubs to open on 1st February.
The scaffolding has also started to come down on the @deaneryacademy in the background which is now looking very smart!
The new road in Canalside may be the least visible of our works contracts but it is crucial to provide access as well as gas, electricity, broadband & water to the new development plots. @foxowmby have nearly completed the drainage and the subbase is starting to go down.
May’s time lapse film is definitely the best so far! Lots of progress being made in Canalside by all our contractors, making the best of the sunny weather. @BAMConstructUK @CarterLaurenLtd@AlunGriffiths_@foxowmby
@rogbryan You're welcome. Glad the event went well and there was such a great turnout! Our thanks are also passed to our contractor @foxowmby who ensured there was a route through the works.
It's been talked about for years but could #hotrocks energy help to power #Cornwall? Geothermal Engineering at United Downs is preparing to drill two boreholes 2.5 & 4.5km into the earth - while @CornwallCouncil has pledged £1.4m towards @edenproject#geothermal dreams
⬇️ 1000 m - The deepest #Cornish mine
⬇️ 4,500 m - the depth #geothermal experts are hoping to drill to generate #hotrocks electricity
Prof Frances Wall @CambSchMines tells @Skentelbery she's "very excited" - adding "Whatever we learn, there will be knowledge we can export"
It’s been another busy week at Wichelstowe. @BAMConstructUK have been installing the first floor of the school and @foxowmby have almost finished the temporary construction route across the canal.
We're delighted to be part of this exciting new development in Swindon. Delivering the new road and drainage system to serve the canalside area https://t.co/fNjNNGSMzv
The latest drone image from contractors Fox shows the route of the new road and to the left, the temporary construction route which will keep some of the construction traffic off the main road network.
