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 Sarah Jayne Parvin

Good morning all, good progress continues to be made in line with our programme and we expect to be completed by Christmas. Since my last update most of the civil works have been completed including constructing below ground pipework and concrete base slabs for the new wash water booster kiosk (pictures included below).

Our electrical subcontractor has substantially completed the field cabling to the first new screen and strain presses. Control panel modifications have started this week which will allow the electrical works to be completed for the first phase of the works.

We are aiming to commission and start the proving period for the first screen and both strain presses from the 26th October 2020. Following the proving period, we will be able to remove both the old screens and compactor and install the final new screen.

The team and I would like to thank you for your continued patience and understanding while we carry out these essential works.

Thank you.
