Client: Scottish Water
Value: £4.3 million
Location: Hamilton
We are currently engaged on the Hamilton UID project at multiple locations within the South Lanarkshire town of Hamilton.
The objective of the project is to eliminate uncontrolled discharges from the combined sewer overflows (CSO’s) within the existing sewerage network thereby reducing the impact of the discharges into the local burn system, controlled by the Scottish Environmental Protection Agency (SEPA), which eventually feed into the River Clyde.
In essence the work involves constructing new CSO’s complete with new screens and linking pipework to the sewer network or retro-fitting new screens into existing CSO’s. The operation of the screens and the recording of discharges are controlled electronically feeding information back to Scottish Water’s Control Centre, Glasgow.
With a start date of October 2009, nine individual CSO’s were completed by March 2010 to meet Scottish Water’s commitment to SEPA.
Currently we are on target to complete eleven individual CSO’s by March 2011, again to meet Scottish Water’s commitment to SEPA.
