GENERAL PROJECT

Rothbury STW Upgrade

This investment at Rothbury sewage treatment works is to improve storm storage and biological treatment to meet the demands of an increasing population in the catchment of Rothbury. Our sewage treatment works aids NWL in improving the quality of rivers and coastal waters for the benefit of people, the environment and wildlife.

Update by Gabrielle Ward

Good morning,

As work continues to progress well, I thought I'd share an update on what will be happening on site over the next five weeks:

-  The HSAF Pumping Station refurbishment will take place along with the Pumping Station Valve Chamber works. The flow comes out of the Pumping Station, through the valve chamber and into the HSAF. To carry out the refurbishments we will need to take the old pumps offline, during this time we have some temporary pumps so everything is still running through the works as normal. 

-  The access road within the Sewage Treatment Works boundary will be reinstated.

-  Our subcontractor, Intelect, will carry out the installation of electrical cables which are then to be tested. 

-  Refurbishment of the Storm Tanks which involves lifting the wall in the storm tanks to increase the capacity. Materials such as bricks, sand, cement etc. have already been delivered ready for the work to commence.

I have added some recent progress photos for you to view.

Thanks.

Gaby
