Go Vocal Admin1 year ago We have now installed the second new screen for the inlet works, we are also progressing with the installation of the pumps and pipework for the Humus settlement tank (HST) slab which is the secondary treatment process and the new penstocks have been completed successfully, along with the flowmeter and pipework which controls the water flow.I would like to thank you all for your continued patience while the works continue but if you have any issues or queries please leave a comment below.

Go Vocal Admin1 year ago This month we've seen steady advancements on-site, The primary settlement tank has successfully passed water testing and is now being backfilled. This new tank will work along side the two existing tanks to remove larger solids and settle-able organic matter from sewage at the initial stage of the wastewater treatment. Additionally, pipework to the HST's (Humus Settlement Tanks) has been upsized to allow greater flow through the works. We've also dug trial holes to provide our design team with valuable data for further planning in order to upgrade the works. Our electrician's have also started on site to undertake a full electrical refurbishment of the works.I want to extend my gratitude for your support and patience as we make improvements. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to leave a message below.

Go Vocal Admin1 year ago Its been a few weeks since I have published on the portal so I thought I would give you an update on the progress we have made onsite, the Primary Settlement Tank (PST) concrete pours have been undertaken to the hopper which is a type of funnel at the bottom of the centre of the tank and a foundation for the precast concrete wall units. A Primary Settlement Tank (PST) is a crucial component in the wastewater treatment process, the tank is designed to remove suspended solids, organic matter, and other particulates from wastewater before it undergoes further treatment. We have also started the installation of the new duct network which is continuing and modifications are being undertaken to the existing garage for new Motor Control Centre (MCC) installation.I would like to thank you all for your continued support and patience while the works are carried out, if you have any queries or questions please leave a message below.

Go Vocal Admin1 year ago I thought I would provide you with an update on the progress of the upgrade to the treatment works in Felton, dispite the weather we have made good progress with the Primary Settlement tank 3 (PST) cone base slab blinding being poured and ready for reinforcement, the groundwater has not been as much of a problem as anticipated. We are making good progress with the duct work and it is ongoing at a good rate. Northern Power Grid (NPG) have succesfully changed the incoming transformer with no issues to the temporary power generation during shut down and the site team are continuing to perform well.We would like to thank you for all your continued support, co-operation and patience while the works are on going.
