At 25 metres, a hole was cut out of the side of the main shaft to allow a pipe to be fed from 4 metres below a roundabout in Military Road into the shaft, using a boring machine and a method called ‘pipe jacking’. The two sections of pipe are now connected.

Southern Water Project Manager Andy Arnold said the latest phase of the scheme, with the digging of the shafts, is now nearing completion. The final connection to the existing sewer main is due for completion in April.
