Good afternoon All,

We are pleased to share the progress made on the project this month:

Works are progressing well here at Slaley, the Soneco unit which is a liquid chemical-free water treatment system has been successfully delivered to the site, along with both the motor control centre (MCC) kiosk and  they are ready for installation we use this to treat the wastewater, the excavation for the humus settlement tank is now fully shored, and the base slab has been poured, this is used in the final process of the water treatment system. We are on with installing the piling and excavation work is underway for the Primary Settlement Tank (PST) which is one of the wastewater treatment processes and we have also started repairs on the existing settlement tank.

If you have any questions or issues please feel free to leave a comment below or use the details provided to contact us and one of the team will be happy to help.

thank you you for your support while the works are on going.

Good afternoon,

Its been a few weeks since the last update so I thought I would let you all know what has been happening

In the last month, works have progressed well on site. The inlet flume channel walls - (Photo 1)  which are used to measure the flow of water are now fully constructed as well as the concrete slab for the Motor Control Centre (MCC) . We have also installed the ducting and draw pits (photo 2) ready for the electrical subcontractors starting next month and reduced the ground at the bottom of the site in preparation to build the Mecana filter units (cloth media filtration systems) (Photo 3), the pipework and adjoining manholes. Other completed works include laying the rising main pipes for both the interstage pumping station and the site returns pumping station.

In the next few weeks, we hope to complete the civil construction on the Mecana filter units (cloth media filtration systems) area including a concrete base slab (Photo 4)  and retaining wall. The Soneco unit (Photo 5) which is a sustainable liquid chemical-free water treatment process will be delivered on the 3 September, the Motor Control Centre (MCC) kiosk building will be lifted in by crane on the 5th September and the Motor Control Centre (MCC) panel will be installed on the 16th September.

Deep excavations will start for the Humus Settlement Tank which is used to clarify effluent and Primary Settlement Tank which is used in the treatment process ensuring effective removal of suspended solids from wastewater providing a large settlement area, this will include sheet piling operations which may cause additional noise.

If you have any questions or queries please feel free to leave a comment below or use the contact details provided to get in touch.

Thanks

Hi All,

hope you are all doing OK, especially with the all the rain we have been having, 

Its been a while since I put on a progress report of how we are getting on with upgrading of the treatment works in your area. Since the last update we have removed the old boundary fence on the western side and replaced with new stock-proof fencing and with the extra space we have created a stone access road into site. We have now got the Motor Control Centre (MMC) precast units installed and backfilled, we have also cast the concrete base slab for the Soneco unit which is a chemical free wastewater filtration method. Work to demolish disused features of the site are continuing and new ducting is being installed. Next week we will see the Northern Power Grid (NPG) kiosk being delivered and the Motor Control Centre (MCC) slab constructed.

We would like to thank you for all your continued support and patience while the works progress.

If you have any questions or queries please feel free to leave a comment below or use the contact details provided to get in touch.

Thank you

Julie

Good afternoon all,

just a quick update to let you know we are expecting cabins for the site, which is fairly large to be delivered over 2 days  - 19th & 20th June 2024,  this will not cause any major disruption but there could be limited access along the main road until we get the cabins onto site.

I hope we are not causing too much disruption and we thank you for your patience, if you have any questions or concerns please leave a comment below or use the details provided to contact us and a member of the team will get back to you.

thank you

Julie

Good afternoon,

I hope you all have had a lovely Bank Holiday weekend and are looking forward to the next one, I thought I would just touch base with an update on the progress of the project here at Slaley.

We are planning some “head start” works from 20th May – setting up and preparing the farmers field for our compound, cabins and parking. You will notice there is more traffic than normal over the first few weeks this is just until we have the site up and running.

In the meantime if you have any questions or concerns please leave a comment below or contact us on the details provided.

thanks for your patience

Julie

Planned work in your area

Good morning, 

As you might already be aware from our recent letter. We’re embarking on a project to upgrade the sewage treatment works in Slaley. This project is part of a £5,000,000 investment aimed at enhancing water quality in Reeston and March Burn as a key deliverable of the Water Industry National Environmental Programme (WINEP). The goal is to ensure continued resilient wastewater services for our customers.

All of work will take place within and directly adjacent to our site boundary and will be undertaken by our supply partners Mott MacDonald Bentley (MMB). We don't anticipate any disruption for you, we just want to make you aware that you may notice an increase in activity and some heavy vehicles using the access route close to the village. Please be assured we are committed to keeping all disruptions to a minimum.

Work is due to start on site week commencing the 3rd of June, working Monday to Friday between the hours of 8:00 AM and 6:00 PM with the current programme expecting us to be on site for 12 months.

We’re hosting a customer event on the 9th of April at Slaley Commemoration Hall between the hours of 3pm and 6pm. This is a great opportunity to learn more about our project, ask questions and share your thoughts with the project team. It would be great to see you there.

If you are not able to make our customer event, you can always reach out by leaving a comment on this post and one of the project team will be in touch or alternatively you can call our customer contact centre on 0345 717 1100.

Either way we would love to hear from you and get your feedback on our plans.
