GENERAL PROJECT

Slaley WINEP P & Improvements

As part of the Water Industry National Environmental Programme (WINEP), we will be installing a new chemical dosing plant (electro coagulation) and replacing parts of the existing treatment process to enable the site to meet the forthcoming phosphorous discharge consent of 0.7 mg/l, which will apply from December 2024. The improvement works will cost £5M and is one of 27 sites within the NWG region to receive this upgrade. Phosphorous is a nutrient and can cause algae to grow in watercourses, reducing biodiversity and river water quality.

Update by Julie Oakley

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.
