Christmas Contact numbers for the Hildenborough Embankment Scheme
Hildenborough embankment scheme
The new embankment has now been fully constructed and shaped, and we have finished pouring the concrete for the penstock and the base for the pumping system and associated infrastructure. The operating kiosk has been installed and fitted out to accommodate the electrical control systems that will manage the pumps and site operations. Having successfully passed factory testing, the new pumps have been installed on site and will be electrically connected and tested in-situ in the New Year.
Christmas working arrangements
Like last year, the construction works will close for the Christmas period. Our last on-site working day will be Friday 19 December, and we will resume site works again on site on Monday 5 January 2026.
VolkerStevin will be monitoring their phones over the period. If you have any concerns please contact VolkerStevin by phone, WhatsApp or Message using the numbers below and they will get back to you as soon as possible:
