GENERAL PROJECT

Allendale Wastewater Treatment Works upgrade

Starting in March 2024, we will be carrying out works at our sewage treatment works (STW) in Allendale. This work is essential and part of a £4.4 million investment project. It will ensure the STW continues to meet the needs of a growing population and that we continue to deliver a reliable and resilient wastewater service for our customers.

Update by Julie Oakley

Hi Everyone,

Hope you are all well??

Here is an update on the progress of the works carried out on treatment plant over the past month, we have sucessfully poured the base for the Rotating Biological Contractor 1 (RBC) We have also had the installation of Motor Control Centre (MCC) & Northern Power Grid (NPG) Kiosks and they are now up and running. As you can imagine because of the weather we are currently having, we have had a few issues with groundwater in all the excavations but we have now got overpumping put in place for anything deeper than 2m and we have came accross a few boulders which have caused issues and delays with the SPEL tank, but nothing we cannot overcome.

We would like to thank you all again for your continued co-operation and patience as I know the extra traffic can be a bit of an issue while entering site but hopefully we are not causing to much disruption, in the meantime if you have any questions or issues please leave a comment below or use the contact details provided

Thank you

Julie
