With the planned road closure of Weymouth Street over the coming days to progress construction of the storm water storage tank, I thought that I would arrange a site visit with Cllr Andrew Davis to view the extent of the works.
Wessex Water are investing of more than £1.8 million which will see an additional 407,000 litres of storage built underground within the existing car park at the northern end of Weymouth Street to help improve the quality of water in the River Were running through the town.
Having trained professionally as a civil engineer I was interested to learn more about the complexity of the problems – the size and depth of the shaft is impressive!
