Yorkshire Water’s Ground Investigations at Carver Fields

Yorkshire Water is launching its largest-ever environmental investment programme, with £8.3 billion set to be invested across the region over the next five years. This ambitious plan will upgrade infrastructure and improve services for customers, with £1.5 billion earmarked specifically for improving the sewer network to reduce reliance on storm overflows.

As part of this investment, Yorkshire Water and their contractor Ward & Burke will be carrying out ground investigation work at Carver Fields, starting Wednesday 13 August. These exploratory tests will help determine whether the site is suitable for potential underground upgrades to the network.

What will the investigations involve?
– Understanding groundwater levels and site pressur
– Assessing the suitability of the site for underground infrastructure.
– Drilling nine boreholes (approx. 20cm wide) at various locations over 3–4 weeks.
– Covering the boreholes and monitoring conditions through weekly visits for 6–8 weeks.
– Once complete, the holes will be safely backfilled.

These improvements are designed to protect local river health by reducing the need for storm overflows, paving the way for a cleaner, greener Crosspool for generations to come.

– Work will take place Monday to Friday, 8am – 5pm. Occasionally, teams may work slightly later, with advance notice.
– No access to homes is required for this project. Please remember to ask for identification if approached by anyone claiming to be part of the team.

If you have questions, the project manager and senior project manager will be available on-site at Carver Fields during the following times:
– Wednesday 13 August, 1:00pm – 3:00pm 
– Tuesday 19 August, 9:30am – 11:30am
