Update by Dave Eden
Time for another Hexham STW Refurb update:
The over pumping is now in place to recirculate the flows coming through the new filters into the old filters so that the wastewater is fully treated whilst the new filters are seeded. This process could take 4-5 months but given the warming weather we hope the bug will establish themselves much sooner.
The structural repairs to the Detritor are complete and we are looking to reinstall the refurbished grit rake 1st May and commission the entire kit soon after.
Masonry repairs to the distribution chamber have been completed. Helical bars were grouted into the mortar between the bricks to tie the whole structure together and reinforce areas of cracking then the whole structure was repointed.
Looking forward we’ll turn our attention back to the inlet works area, installing further ductwork and slabs for the MCC, compactor and wash water booster. We will also core into the existing balancing tank for future connection to the new inlet works.
Thanks for taking the time to read and have a look at the attached photos for further information.
