Introduction to the scheme

This scheme is one that will really impact the work of the operators of the largest sewage treatment works operated by Yorkshire Water.

This project will provide odour control facilities to new and existing plant and new sludge treatment facilities and also involves modifications to existing facilities which will improve sludge management at the site.

Today Excavation is continuing for the 2 sludge tanks that will store sludge in covered tanks prior to incineration.

We are digging down within old storm tanks that have been used as a landfill and have found newspapers from 1956 - with the top 10 on!

Currently B&V are addressing the challenge of an unchartered pipe discharging into a culvert through the excavation.

Material from the excavation will be crushed and reused where possible as backfill to reduce the amount of material going to landfill.
