The construction phase of this project is now complete.

GENERAL PROJECT

Lockhaugh Sewage Treatment Works Screens Upgrade

Our proposed new screens will allow us to remove more solids from the influent. This will reduce maintenance activities and ensure an efficient site that is free of blockages and has significantly reduced wear and tear to the mechanical equipment. Our sewage treatment works aids NWG in improving the quality of rivers and coastal waters for the benefit of people, the environment and wildlife.

Update by Colin Burdon

Good Morning,

I am the Northumbrian Water Project Manager who is responsible for delivering the customer and environmental benefits of this construction work currently taking place at Lockhaugh Sewage Treatment Works.

Since Sarah's last post the team on site have been ensuring they are following the government guidance on social distancing and have also been following a set of guidelines developed by the Construction Leadership Council which are specific to construction sites.

Despite the more stringent working procedures, Grant (Site Manager) and his team are making good progress (details of which shall be communicated in later updates).

Myself and the (normally) office based team have been working from home and supporting Grant with the last pieces of design and planning for a number of process intrusive activites over the coming months.

Please feel free to add any questions you have about the work, it's benefits and our current ways of working on this portal and we shall be able to give you an answer.

Best regards,

Colin Burdon
