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.

Time for a Hexham STW Refurb update:

Welding is continuing 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.

We are continuing with turning head/crane pad pours. We have completed three included the largest – the crane pad. We have fours pours left, two of which we are hoping to pour this week if the weather allows. We’re also working on some one the site footpaths and landscaping when other works allow.

The electrical install continues well. The new MCC is now powered on and glanding and terminating is continuing with a view to commissioning the new inlet works WC 07/10/24.

We expect the new pumps for the Settled Sewage Pumping Station in the next week or so, so the pump changes should happen next month all things being equal.

Thanks
