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

Good afternoon All,

where has our summer gone!!!

Its been a few weeks since I posted a portal update on the progress of the works that are being carried out on Allendale treatment works, so I thought I would let you know how we are getting on.

We have now poured the infill base along with the wall and the precast inlet works have been installed, this is where the new inlet screen which removes grit and solids before flows pass through the RBC, a RBC is a rotating biological contactor which is a fixed-film treatment process used in the secondary treatment of wastewater following primary treatment. You may have also seen a very large crane being delivered last week this was used to lift into position the new pre cast inlet works. We have also poured the concrete surround for the SPEL tank which is a large tank for the storage of the sewerage. We are making good progress with very little disruption so things are looking good.

I would like to thank you for all for your continued co-operation and patience while the works progress. If you have any issues or questions please leave a comment below or use the details provided to contact us and we will be happy to help.

thank you

Julie
