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.

Afternoon,

Here is our latest update for Chilton Lane STW:

Site excavation works are now 80% complete with only minor operations left.
We are now ready to start the drainage works due to shoring materials being on site.
Enabling works for the installation and delivery of our Chemical Dosing Kiosks are nearly complete.
Our water and service water mains have all been tested and now backfilled.
All building services are now complete for the new Motor Control Centre.

Traffic management will be in place on the 29th of May for one day outside the entrance to our compound.
This is due to our Chemical Dosing units being delivered.

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