About
The Coal Authority awarded a contract to DRILCORP LIMITED for the drilling of a mine water monitoring borehole to assess rising mine water on the surrounding environment at Blidworth.
The contract, valued at £664,730.48, involves constructing a borehole to intersect flooded underground workings at Blidworth Colliery, allowing monitoring of mine water levels that are thought to be representative of the area.
This follows a 2020 review by the Coal Authority that highlighted the potential for elevated mine water levels at Blidworth, which could pose a risk to the drinking water aquifers that overlie the mine workings.
