GENERAL PROJECT

Wark on Tyne Sewage Treatment Works upgrade

Working with our framework partner, MMB, we are investing £3M to improve the performance of our sewage treatment works at Wark on Tyne village.

Update by Julie Oakley

Good morning everyone,

hope you have all enjoyed the Bank holiday and half term, I thought I would check in and give you an update on the progress of the works here in Wark,

Works are progressing well; we are about to turn flows and commission the new primary settlement tank and associated chambers at the top end of the site. Meanwhile we have been excavating a 7m deep cofferdam to install the new humus settlement tank, this will be landed at the start of next month. We have carried out the final pour of the new inlet chamber, this will then allow us to set up a section of over pumping to bypass the storm tank allowing us to carry out modifications for the walls and channels.

I hope we are not causing too much disruption and we thank you for your continued support and patience, in the meantime 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.
