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 afternoon All,

Hope you are you all preparing for the Autumn weather,

We would like to provide an update on the upgrade of the treatment works in your area.

The works are progressing well on site, the existing pumps, guide rails and duck feet in the pumphouse have been replaced to allow the new works to handle future flows. We have installed a new 450mm diameter piperun to increase storage capacity of the works as well. The top section of the site is planned to be reinstated over the next few weeks, with works shifting to the bottom of site. New penstocks are currently being installed. These penstocks are automatic and open and close based on the amount of flows entering the site.

We would like to thank you all again for your continued support and patience, and we hope we are not causing too much disruption, while the works continue.

If you have any concerns or questions please leave a comment below or contact us using the details provided and one of the team will be in touch.

Thank you 

Julie
