Update by Dave Eden

Morning All.

Let’s get up to speed on Hexham STW Refurb:

Welding is underway on the new inlet screens tank to ensure watertightness in advance of commissioning. This should be complete in the next few days and allow a water test next week.

The distribution chamber is now complete bar some instrument reinstallation.

The last of the significant civils works has commenced with the first of the turning head/crane pad pours happening today, whilst landscaping continues between the filter beds.

The inlet works ductile iron pipework is complete, as is the 2” wash water supply.

The electrical install is progressing well; the vast majority of the tray work is in place and cabling is well underway. We are hoping to power up the new MCC next week with a view to starting commissioning early next month.

Alterations to the pumps in the settled sewage pumping station is also planned for early next month, depending on deliveries.

It's coming together.

Thanks for taking the time to read the update.
