Good afternoon All, I would firstly like to wish you all a very Happy New Year and I hope you all had a lovely Christmas, This is the first update of 2025 for the Allendale treatment works, we have had a slow start to the year due to the weather conditions but we are back on course, we have now installed and backfilled the flowmeters which is a device that measures the flow rate of water into the treatment works along with the actuated valve chambers which is a structure that houses the valves that automatically manage's the water flow. We have also finished the installation of the Rotating biological contactor 1 (RBC1) and the covers, this is used in the process of the wastewater treament.  We have made the final connections to the Rotating biological contactor 2 (RBC2) and completed the concrete slab cast which will support the compressor. I would like to once again thank you for all your co-operation and continued support, in the meantime if you have any questions or issues please feel free to leave a comment below or use the details provide to contact one of the team and er willbe happy to help. thanks again Julie

Good morning everyone, Happy Monday. I hope you’re all well and settling into 2025. The Team on Site have made some great progress this last month so far so I wanted to share this with you: We have powered up the new MCC on the 2nd of January, when we returned after the Christmas break and this week, we successfully turned a flow through our works meeting our programme date.   The flows now run through the new Inlet Screen, Balance Tank, Primary Settlement Tank and Syphon Chamber before being distributed on the Filter by the new distributor arms and the improvements we have made mean the works can now treat more sewage before a spill to storm occurs. The next stage for us is to convert the existing Primary Settlement Tanks into Storm Tanks to increase the Storm water storage capacity of the works. Ad you can see, this is a great start to the year for sure. If you have any questions that you’d like to ask us regarding the works, then please don’t hesitate to add a comment in the box below and a member of the Project Team will respond as soon as possible. Take care and speak soon, Bethany

Good Morning and Happy New Year! We are progressing well with our Chemical Removal works and all major civils works are now complete. Over the next couple of months, we will be testing, commissioning and optomising the system before the dosing plant becomes fully functional. Please contact us direct if you have any questions at nwl.customer@esh.uk.com

Good afternoon all, Due to recent poor weather conditions including the snowmelt there has been a noticeable deterioration of the ground in our site compound and access tracks, which has also affected the condition of Mount Lane  To address this we have scheduled work for Saturday 18th January, when our team will re-stone our compound and access tracks to improve the conditions. To manage dirt on nearby roads, a full time road sweeper has been in operation. We have sourced a wheel wash system, which is expected to be delivered early next week and fully operational by the end of the week. This system will help reduce mud and dirt on roads around our compound and working areas.  Over the weekend we will also have a few operatives working within the reservoir cells. We remain focused on addressing these issues and improving conditions on site and in the surrounding areas. Thank you for bearing with us as we continue this work. Thanks 

Good morning Hope you are all well! As you might have noticed, we are now back on site and the team have begun installation of the temporary works to allow excavations of the valve chamber and flow meter. The reduction of stone will be complete over the next week to allow the new access track to be installed. Over the next few weeks there will be an increase in large vehicles to site while materials are delivered. As always we endeavour to keep disruption to a minimum. Please contact us direct if you have any questions at nwl.customer@esh.uk.com. Thank you have a lovely weekend! Rachel

Afternoon All. Lets get up to speed with progress on the Great Ayton STW Storm Tank: After the repairs to the surface water main and some assistance from the farmer it looks like the worst of the localised flooding has been addressed. The access road and working area in the field immediately East/South-East of the treatment works has been completed. This involved erecting a perimeter fence to the work area, stripping the topsoil and laying geo-grid soil reinforcement and stone to create a robust access road and work area. The geo-grid soil reinforcement allowed a reduction in the thickness of the stone and so financial and environmental savings. Stone we don't use doesn't have to be produced or delivered. Following the Christmas break, our specialist sub-contractor has arrived on site to commence installation of the shaft which will act as the new Storm Water Storage Tank. We have hit the ground running and hope to have the first two rings and jacking collar in place early next week. We are also continuing a number of site investigations, from trial pits to duct surveys and ground water monitoring, to ensure we installing the most efficient solution possible. That's all for now, thanks for taking the time to read and please have a look at the attached photos. Dave Eden, Project Manager

Good afternoon Everyone and Happy New Year, As we start a New Year, I wanted to remind you all that we will be commencing with the setup of the Site Compound this week and this should take around 1 week to complete.

If you have any questions or queries that you'd like to ask us, please don’t hesitate to get in touch by adding a comment in the box below and a member of the Project Team will respond accordingly.
