Work Starts On Resilience Project In Birmingham

Construction News Image
Construction work has started on a resilience project in Birmingham.

The scheme in Lickhill is part of Severn Trent's Birmingham Resilience Project.

Carol Bloor from Severn Trent said: "We need to make sure our customers across the region continue to get a reliable water supply. This project is the biggest engineering challenge we have ever done and we’re investing around £300M. As part of the project, Severn Trent will be building a new water intake and pumping station near Lickhill, and laying a new water pipeline for 25km from there to Frankley in Birmingham. Although the project's main aim is to make water supplies for Birmingham more resilient, it will have benefits for our customers right across our region, and in Stourport where the project team are based and a lot of work is taking place."
