Moor End Lane update: 20 December 2024
Information for residents
Ground collapse at Moorend Houses, Silkstone Common
Thank you for your continued patience.
Progress this week
- We have completed reinstating the ground around the cap by backfilling and compacting stone. The stone has now been filled to ground level ready for surface finishing.
- After residents’ questions, we confirmed that the material to be used in reinstating the track surface will not be limestone (as used for the car park). The material will most likely be tarmac chips or a similar inert product.
- Drillers have been onsite Thursday and Friday. This was to confirm the strength of the rock below the cap.
- The weekly stud monitoring took place on Wednesday.
- As agreed with residents, there was no onsite meeting this week.
Next week
- There will be some work onsite on Monday 23 December. This will include moving fence positions and a general tidying up before the Christmas break. Work will commence again on 2 January.
- The stud monitoring will not take place next week. The installed tilt sensors will alert us if there is any movement. The surveyor will next visit during week commencing 30 December.
- We will continue to speak to residents individually about their circumstances and concerns, as well as via the represented contact.
