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,

I just thought I would pop on and say hello, and post a quick update on the progress of our work.

The construction work on site is progressing as expected. We have now completed installing all the new ducting on site and have installed the new sludge mixing system.  With the new mixing system commissioned we are now able to isolate the large sludge tank to allow works to progress converting it into the new storm tank.  We have started constructing the new valve chamber off the side of the storm tank together with the inlet and overflow pipework.

I have added some photos below of the new valve chamber, and the new sludge mixing system. 

As always, if you have any questions or would like to get in touch, please leave a comment below or use the "contact" button at the top of the page.

Thank you for your continued patience and support.

Gaby
