Final Year of Construction at Mogden?
Open Meeting Thursday 26th
|
January is an important month for the team improving Mogden Sewage Treatment Works, as it heralds the start of our final year of construction and installation work.
We continue to work hard to increase the site’s capacity by 50 per cent by March next year, which will reduce the amount of sewage that overflows into the River Thames after heavy rain.
The focus of our work in the next month will be pushing ahead with the mechanical and electrical work for the new inlet works, where sewage enters the site and is screened to remove large objects. We will also be working on the new odour control plant, and some of the new primary tanks, where heavy particles are removed from the sewage.
Together, these elements will be commissioned in the spring as part of the first phase of putting the site into full operational service.
You may have noticed recent work to install the chimney of the odour control plant, located at the northern end of the site. This will mostly be hidden from view once we have completed work on the embankment and associated planting.
Our workforce will shortly start removing the earth temporarily placed on the mound, meaning the embankment will be back to its original height by the end of this year.
On Thursday 26 January, from 5pm to 6.30pm, you can meet members of the project team, view our plans, and provide any feedback at our informal drop-in session. This will be held at a new venue − the BridgeLink Centre in Summerwood Road, Isleworth, TW7 7QR. Free parking will be available in the centre’s car park.
We will continue to update you on our progress, but if you have any questions please call 0845 641 0030, quoting 'Mogden'. Our lines are always open.
