GENERAL PROJECT

Eppleby Sewage Treatment Works Upgrade

We are investing £2.5 million to improve the performance of our sewage treatment works at Eppleby. The work will involve an upgrade of the inlet system, process units 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.

Update by Bethany Oakley

Good afternoon everyone,

I hope your week is going well.

I thought I’d add an update to share with you the great progress that has been made on Site recently, I have quite a lot to tell you!

Pumping station

The team have installed the 1050 ring and benched, and mass poured surround and built up the rings in for the pumping station to 3.75m.

6 rings in total have been installed and concreted in and all rings have now been surrounded with concrete along with 45M concrete used to surround the rings for the pumping station.

HST

The concrete surround has been poured up to 600mm below finished level and we have removed TW from the HST area.

We have barriered and added signage to create an exclusion zone.

Pipework from HST to pumping station inlet

The pipe work has been installed and backfilled using pipe bedding from HST to first manhole.

We have also installed the manhole and concreted this in and have connected the pipework either side of manhole.

Pipework excavation has been completed to allow works to carry on from manhole towards pumping station inlet.

DUCTS

We have installed ducts from the NPG to existing chamber near new SR pumping station.

As always, should you have any questions that you’d like to ask us, please add a comment in the box below and a member of the Project Team will respond as soon as possible.

Thank you,

Bethany
