GENERAL PROJECT

CURRENT WEATHER

9°C

River Gaunless, Bishop Auckland

We are investing up to £9 million to improve Butterknowle, Cockfield and Ramshaw sewage treatment works. Starting in December 2018 and likely to continue to December 2019. These works will improve the quality of the water in the River Gaunless and will not involve any disruption to the wastewater service in the area. We would really like to hear any comments or questions you may have get in touch using the 'Contact us' button at the top of the page or leave a comment below. Dean Thompson NWL project manager

Hi everyone

Things are picking up speed now.

Cockfield stw – Chemical bund is now complete and we are busy installing drainage around the Deep Bed Filter area

Ramshaw stw – Just installing the base reinforcement for the chemical bund and will shortly start constructing the backwash tank walls.

Butterknowle stw – We have justst completed excavating the Deep Bed Filter (DBF) slab and managed to install a new earth filter system to allow the backwash tank to be started.

Site traffic will be low. As always if you spot any issues let Brian know.

Many Thanks Martin
