GENERAL PROJECT

Embleton Sewage Treatment Works Upgrade

We are investing over £3 million to improve storm and biological treatment at Embleton sewage treatment works to meet the demands of an increasing population in the Embleton catchment. Our sewage treatment works aid NWL in improving the quality of rivers and coastal waters for the benefit of people, the environment and wildlife.

Update by Gabrielle Ward

Good Afternoon,

I thought I would pop on and say hello, and give you an update on how work is progressing on site.

The new Motor Control Centre (MCC) base walls are ongoing with the concrete pour planned this week. Once this has been completed, we will then be able to backfill externally of the structure and progress the superstructure.

The tertiary area earthworks and access road are now complete allowing us to commence the civils infrastructure.

Over the next few weeks our planned works are as followed:-

1. Demolition of the existing inlet screen, we will be installing a temporary bypass to maintain the flow into the works, this then allows us to easier erect the MCC building and complete the associated works around.

2. Demolition of the abandoned inlet channel, this will allow us to construct the proposed new inlet works over the coming months.

I have added some photos of what has been happening on site since the last update.

If you have any questions, please feel free to leave a comment below.

Thanks everyone,

Gaby
