Agreement for the JCT contract between North Yorkshire Council and Yorvik Homes Ltd to install a 750mm pipe in Bellerby Road, Leyburn at a cost of £15,874.37k as part of the Mount Drive, Leyburn culvert divert under the Upper Dales Flood Alleviation Scheme.
Yorvik Homes Ltd were installing a pipe into Bellerby Road from their new housing development. Flood Risk Management engaged with Yorvik to increase the pipe size which would enable us to link the Mount Drive culvert divert ensuring the pipe size was sufficient to hold the capacity of water required to protect residents from flooding in the future. The overall cost of the project would have been £200k plus.
By working with Yorvik Homes Ltd:
•The cost is significantly reduced which also can be used to offset against funding increasing our cost to benefit ratio
•Reduces disturbance to residents by works only having to be completed once
•Yorvik have experience of the bedrock in Leyburn
To not progress with the installation of the pipe as part of the Yorvik scheme but this was not taken forward due to time and cost implications.
