JSM were approached by Laurence Haines primary school in Watford with a request for donations to help them develop a construction play area for their pupils.

Justin Wall, Depot Manager at River Road, and Claire Parsons, Environmental Manager, worked together to source a set of old signs and cones from our operational depot in Barking. Justin then arranged for a member of his team to deliver the items on Wednesday 14^th February.

“After the school approached us, Justin and I scoped out some suitable signs and cones at River Road depot, to take to the school. We chose things that would be safe for them to play with, of varying colours that they can hopefully have fun with”.

Claire Parsons, Environmental Manager.

The electrical supply will run from Cory’s Riverside 2 facility in Belvedere and terminate at the Littlebrook substation in Dartford on behalf of Cory and UK Power Networks (UKPN).

Riverside 2 will be one of the largest and most efficient EfW facilities in the UK, employing 140 personnel from the area, processing 650,000 tonnes of non-recyclable waste and generating enough electricity to power 176,000 homes each year. The facility will utilise well-established moving grate technology. This technology has been successfully deployed across numerous operational EfW facilities in the UK.

Over 3 million tonnes of London’s waste must either be landfilled or sent overseas, and the Riverside 2 project will provide vital capacity to help address this. It will also help to achieve the goals set out in the London Plan which aim for 100% of London’s waste to be processed within its boundaries by 2026.

We apologies for the disruption this has caused and are working hard with key stakeholders including London Borough of Bexley to ensure minimum disruption to the public. We are working extended hours 7 days a week to ensure they are completed as soon as possible and will be providing a live website that shows the works programme and the live closures.

As the works progress, we will provide weekly updates via the website to assess suitable changes showing where the works are and changes to the traffic network.

To honour our commitment to our local communities, we asked JSM employees for second-hand book donations.  We are delighted to say we received over 100 books which have been safely delivered to the libraries in Potters Bar and Romford.

The Mayor of Hertsmere, Councillor Chris Myers, visited Potters Bar library today to accept donations from JSM employees Lisa Hough, Senior HR Advisor and Graham Jackson, Payroll Manager. Sue Richardson, Office Manager also delivered donations to Romford Library.

Potters Bar Library manager, Liz Webb said:

“Many thanks for the book donations, we are very appreciative and once they are on our shelves, I’m sure our customers will be very pleased. Please extend my thanks to all your colleagues who donated books.”

The work spans over 16.4km in both the carriageway and footpath. Upon completion, the work will facilitate the connection of a new Avalon Data Centre via a new 132/11kV 120MVA substation.

This will be carried out in two phases, phase one will be the cable duct installation. Phase two will consist of pulling cable and jointing the lengths to make a continuous cable which requires three joint bays to be open at any one time for connections to be made.

Our in-house experts are working hard with key stakeholders including Buckinghamshire Council to ensure minimum disruption to the Public. This includes planning and using the least disruptive route to emergency services and local amenities, 24-hour weekend working and providing advance warning of the works. Additionally, we’ve provided all local residents with a single point of contact should they have any safety concerns while the works are ongoing.

As the works progress, we will continue to hold frequent reviews with Buckinghamshire Council Highways and provide weekly updates to assess suitable changes as the project develops.

The works spans over 16.3km in both the carriageway and footpath. Upon completion, the work will facilitate the connection of a new Data Centre in Hemel Hempstead via a new 132/33kV substation. Elstree 400kV substation is the nearest substation that has suitable load capacity to supply the demand for the works. Leep Utilities is the statutory undertaker for the cable installation works.

This will be carried out in two phases, phase one which will be the cable duct installation and phase two which will consist of the excavation of joint bays, cable installation and jointing then reinstatement and site cleared.

This involves the excavation and installation of ducts in various roads with planning liaison between JSM Group and Herts County Council. Due to the nature of the works and the impact on the local infrastructure the route has be planned to minimize the disruption to traffic in the surrounding areas wherever possible, this has included avoiding main roads, working longer hours, working outside schools during the summer break and carrying our 24-hour working at the weekends in specific busy locations to reduce the impact and delay on traffic due to the working week traffic flow.

JSM has installed advance warning signs and carried out letter drops of the streets prior to the works commencing. These letters include contact details for the project manager and site manager specific to each road so residents can personally contact the said individuals with any concerns or requirements that they may have. JSM are contactable 24 hours a day to deal with any on site issues.

The traffic management is carried out by a designated approved company who installs and maintains the traffic management with 24-hour contact numbers displayed on all site’s ready to deal with any out of hours emergencies.

Our in-house experts are working hard with key stakeholders including Hertfordshire County Council to ensure minimum disruption to the Public. As the works progress, we will continue to hold frequent reviews with Hertfordshire County Highways and provide weekly updates to assess suitable changes as the project develops. A project specific web site is available to track weekly progress and planned work.
