Update by Dave Eden
Morning All.
Let’s get up to speed on the Hexham STW Refurbishment:
The seeding of the new filter beds is continuing, but unfortunately the first set of external biological samples weren’t quite up to spec, so we’ll continue the process for a while longer. Further samples will be taken this week, with results available the back end of the week after.
The inlet works area is continuing – in addition to the main inlet screens slab we have now completed the MCC slab, the wash-water booster slab and all the ducts and draw pits bar a little tweaking.
Coring into the existing balancing tank has restarted and is hoped to complete by the end of the week despite some minor teething issues.
Installation of the super-structure of the inlet works is still planned to commence early June, but the final epoxy coating of the re-furbished distribution chamber has been re-arranged for a later date due to the ongoing seeding.
Thanks.
Dave Eden
