We are investing over £4.9 million to improve Hexham Sewage Treatment Works.

Undertaking this refurbishment work will improve the sites compliance resilience, reducing the likelihood of future pollution incidents, minimising operator intervention improving site Health & Safety. Our sewage treatment works aids NWL in improving the quality of rivers and coastal waters for the benefit of people, the environment and wildlife.

Update by Dave Eden

Afternoon All.

Things are really starting to shape up at Hexham STW Refurbishment.

The installation of the new inlet works tank is complete and the installation of the platform above it, which will allow the penstocks and screens to be accessed and maintained, is approaching completion.

The civils work is now largely restricted to roads, surface finishes and reinstatement but there’s still plenty to be keeping us busy with manhole mowing strips, footpaths and pipe support plinths.

Electrical installation is starting to gather speed, with the UMON4 hardware all in place and tray work and supports being assembled. The MCC and wash water booster have both been delivered to site and installed inside their respective kiosks.

The screens and penstocks are due to be installed in the new inlet screens tank starting early next week, so if you are in the area, you may be able to spot the crane.

The above ground pipework to connect it all together will commence the following week to avoid clashes in a relatively restricted work area.

Thanks for taking the time to read the update.
