In addition to constructing the new WwTW at Weatherlees, the project included refurbishing pumping stations in Margate and Broadstairs, construction of a sea outfall and laying 24km of new pipes.īlack & Veatch was responsible for the scheme's civil design, and mechanical, electrical, instrumentation, controls and automation (MEICA) design and MEICA contracting. Southern Water and their contractors should be congratulated for their hard work." Ladyman, MP for Thanet South, said: "This scheme is so important for the local area and, knowing the water released to our seas is now treated to such high standards, means we can be even prouder of our beautiful coastline here in Thanet. Treatment for the towns' wastewater now includes ultraviolet disinfection, which provides additional protection for local shellfish populations. The scheme will provide cleaner seas for the Kent resorts' bathers and a better aquatic environment for marine life.
The Margate and Broadstairs Project is one of the largest in Southern Water's AMP4 programme. The scheme was a joint venture between engineering consultants Black & Veatch (B&V) and Costain to enhance coastal water quality off the Isle of Thanet.
12, 2007 - Roger Gale, a Member of Parliament (MP), and Stephen Ladyman MP officially marked the completion of Southern Water's Margate and Broadstairs scheme at the new Weatherlees Wastewater Treatment Works (WwTW) in Kent, on the eve of Kent Coastal Week last month.
