GENERAL PROJECT

Chilton Lane Sewage Treatment Works upgrade

As part of the Water Industry National Environmental Programme (WINEP), we will be installing chemical dosing plant (ferric sulphate and sodium hydroxide) to enable the site to meet a revised Phosphorous discharge consent of 0.2 mg/l, which will apply from December 2024. Phosphorous is a nutrient and can cause algae to grow in watercourses, reducing biodiversity and river water quality. The improvement works will cost around £4.3m and is one of 27 sites within the NWG region to receive this upgrade.

Good morning,

I just wanted to give a quick update on the site teams progress over at Chilton Lane STW.

The final infill for the Chemical dosing has now been completed.
Our paving areas on site are now 100% complete.
Although the weather has been quite challenging, when there has been opportunity all planned tasks have been fulfilled.
Formwork for the Mecana (MCC) has been completed this week and the concrete has been poured ready for the kiosk installation.

In the next month the team will be installing the MCC/kiosk and enabling works will begin for the pumping station construction.

I have included some photos of the progress.

As always feel free to leave a comment should you have any questions, and a member of the team will get back to you.

Thanks

Anya
