GENERAL PROJECT

Bishopton Sewage Treatment Works Upgrade

We are investing £700k to improve the performance of our sewage treatment works at Bishopton. The work will involve an upgrade of the inlet system and flow monitoring. This will aid NWL in improving the quality of rivers and coastal waters for the benefit of people, the environment and wildlife.

We have also completed the balance tank footpath meaning all structural works are now complete.

The balance tank outlet pipework is also 90% complete and the flume to the existing works pipework’s is 100% complete.

Our Site inlet pipework has now commenced, and I am pleased to advise that most of the remedial works and landscaping work has already been carried out and is complete, in readiness for the demobilisation.

We will share any further details that we think are relevant prior to the demobilisation on Site and answer any questions that you may have – please add a comment in the box below and a member of the Project Team will respond.

Good afternoon,

Since our last update, the site compound area has been stripped of topsoil and laid with terram and stone. The site cabins are now set up and are fully operational with the water and electrics connected.

The team have dug out and stoned up the area ready for the concrete base to be poured where the new Haigh Inlet Screen will be installed. This will filter and treat the incoming flows.The existing pipeline has also been exposed and surveyed. 

Please leave a comment below if you have any questions, and a member of the project team will get back to you.

Thanks

Gaby

Good morning,

I hope you are all well?

I'd like to take this opportunity to introduce myself and some of the Project Team. My name is Gaby Ward, I am the Customer Liaison Officer for Mott MacDonald Bentley working alongside Jamie Oyebade, Northumbrian Water's Project Manager and John Hogg, Northumbrian Water's Customer Care Manager. We will be conducting the engagement with our customers and posting regular updates on here. 

You will have received a letter in the post recently letting you know about our upcoming work to upgrade Bishopton Sewage Treatment Works. I just wanted to let you know that investigation works mentioned in the letter have been carried out. 

Last week, our subcontractor, Castle Keep undertook the topographical and GPR surveys of Bishopton STW which, when we receive the results, we will be able to use to model the existing works and to aide our design. The Ground Investigation took place yesterday by our subcontractor, Dunelm. A borehole is dug into the ground, and samples are taken to allow us to understand the ground conditions at the treatment works. I have attached some photos below.

Please feel free to leave a comment below should you have any questions or even if you just wanted to say hello, we will be more than happy to help.

On behalf of the project team, we are looking forward to working in your lovely area.

Speak soon!

Gaby
