GENERAL PROJECT

Ovingham vertical turbine pump installation

This project is to replace two of the pumps in the raw water pumping station at Ovingham. These two new pumps will pump be able to pump up to 80 megalitres of water a day from the River Tyne to the water treatment works at Horsley. In order to vary the speed that the pumps will work at two new drives are being installed to control the speed of the pumps, together with new controls to monitor and control the pumps remotely.

Good Morning,

Just a short update, next week from15th will be the introduction of the traffic lights, they will be in operation for 2weeks whilst the team finish setting up the site. This is only for that short period of time to allow vehicle and plant access and to create the haul road to the pumping station.

Again please remember the lay-by on the top road will not be available as our welfare cabin will be located in that space.

Thank you again for you patience we appreciate it.

Joan
