Monkton Combe Project — Ensuring Safety During Construction


Our vibration monitoring services have been actively supporting the Monkton Combe project in Bath. During the construction of a new tank, our team conducted comprehensive vibration monitoring to safeguard the surrounding buildings from ground-borne vibrations during excavation activities. This proactive approach ensured the safety and stability of the local environment throughout the development process.


Utility Works and Road Closures in Bath:

Recently, the utility company carried out sewer rehabilitation works aimed at preventing potential flooding and pollution in the area. These essential works involved a temporary closure of Church Lane, impacting local traffic flow.


Upcoming Road Closure and Construction Activities:

Bath & North East Somerset Council approved a temporary road closure on Mill Lane, starting from its junction with Church Lane and extending approximately 30 metres southeast. This closure was necessary to facilitate ongoing infrastructure improvements.


Wessex Water performed several key activities, including:

- Excavation trial hole works

- Tank construction

- Power supply installation


Project Completion:

We are pleased to confirm that the project has now been completed, and vibration monitoring activities have concluded. We remain dedicated to supporting safe and efficient construction processes and look forward to assisting with future projects.
