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.

Update by Bethany Oakley

Good morning and happy Monday,

I hope you are well and enjoyed the weekend.

I wanted to provide you with an update on the progress made here on Site. We have seen yet more great work by the Team, including the continuation of concreting the new roads and paths throughout Site. The works for intelect are ongoing and the Team began tankering out the reed beds again on Friday 14th February and this went on into the following week. The Hydrok metal work has been arranged for Monday 24th March. NEPS have been on Site to finish up their works and measure up for stilling pipe. The Chemical delivery is due this week.

The Site Team will ensure a regular tidy up and clearance of the Site is carried out.

Should there be any questions you’d like to ask a member of the Project Team then please feel free to add a comment in the box below!

Take care and speak soon,

Bethany
