GENERAL PROJECT

Lanchester Sewer Treatment Works

As part of the Water Industry National Environmental Programme (WINEP), we will be installing chemical dosing plant (ferric sulphate and sodium hydroxide) and a new tertiary treatment stage to enable the site to meet the forthcoming phosphorous discharge consent. The improvement works will cost around £6.4m, and it’s one of 27 sites within the NWG region to receive this upgrade. Phosphorous is a nutrient and can cause algae to grow in watercourses, reducing biodiversity and river water quality.

Good Morning,

It's been a while since our last post, so here's a quick update on whats been happening on site.

The compound has now been fully setup and is in use. We have started works in the chemical dosing area that has consisted of exposing an old retaining wall and then breaking all of the concrete out form the wall and the base. The team have also constructed new and safe walk ways around the Sewage Treatment Works.

Keep a look out for more updates in the next month or so!

If you have any questions, please leave a comment below and a member of the project team will get back to you.
