GENERAL PROJECT

Washington Sewage Treatment Works Refurbishment

As part of a £14 million investment, we will be carrying out work to improve the performance and reliability of Washington Sewage Treatment Works. This work will ensure it continues to provide the highest standards of service for the local community.

Update by Sarah Jayne Parvin

Good morning

I hope you are well and managing Lockdown 2. Our work is essential so whilst the pandemic is ongoing, so are our teams onsite.

The work to construct the new tanks continue and the installation of the temporary ground support is halfway there. Once this is complete we will start excavating material which is likely to begin week commencing 16 November. This particular section of work will involve removing and exporting 11,000 square meters of material and recycling it at another location so, you will notice an increase in wagon movement over the next few months using the site entrance off Pattinson Road.

The electrical upgrade is progressing well and new control panels have started to arrive on site and at the north east end of the site work to upgrade the inlet works continues.

As the amount of work underway increased there has been a rise to the workforce and plant/equipment onsite so we thought some visuals of the progress so far would be useful.

If you have any questions or feedback, don’t hesitate to get in touch using the ‘contact us’ tab at the top of the page or comment below and one of the team will be in touch.

Thanks

Sarah
