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

Morning All.

Time for another update on Hexham STW Refurb:

The installation of the new inlet works continues to progress well. All mechanical elements are now in place and the electrical installation is underway. Once this is complete there will be some final adjustments to the open mesh flooring, to account for the changes thing like isolator stands will require, before they are sent away to be regalvanised.

The distribution chamber waterproofing has now been completed and all the open mesh access flooring reinstated. There is a small amount of block work to complete to fully isolate the mothballed filters and some instruments to re-install, but the works are largely complete in this area. Over-pumping will be removed in the coming day or two.

Minor civils works are continuing around the inlet works to construct new footpaths before we start working on the turning head and crane pad later in the week. These will provide vehicular access for maintenance to the new inlet works.

The inlet works ductile iron pipework has been on hold whilst new support brackets are fabricated but it should be complete this week.

Thanks for taking the time to read the update.
