GENERAL PROJECT

University Sewage Treatment Works Growth Upgrade

Upgrading the capacity of the sewage treatment works to meet the increased number of customers in the area due to additional new housing and student accommodation. Our sewage treatment works aid NWG in improving the quality of rivers and coastal waters for the benefit of people, the environment and wildlife.

Update by Gabrielle Ward

Good Morning, 

Following on from Colin and Amanda's update and introduction, I thought I would pop on and say hello and introduce myself. I am Gabrielle Ward, MMB Customer Liaison Officer for this project. I'd also like to share a quick update on the work we are carrying out. 

Our site works commenced on Tuesday 6th April as planned and we have completed the establishment of the temporary welfare facilities which included creating a stone hardstanding (please see the photograph below).  We have started the installation of the new permanent electrical ducting and draw pit chambers which will facilitate the site wide electrical refurbishment. Next month, we are looking to start civil works to allow the installation of a new sludge mixing system. 

We will keep you updated once the next stage of work has commenced. Myself and our MMB Site Manager, Grant Crawford, will be posting regular updates on here throughout the duration of the works. 

We kindly ask that you take extra care if you're visiting Hollingside Lane as site traffic will be using this road for deliveries to our Sewer Treatment Works. In the mean time, if you have any questions please feel free to post a comment below or visit the "contact" button at the top of the page. 

Thanks,

Gaby
