| Black & Veatch to upgrade two treatment facilities US-based engineering company Black & Veatch has been appointed principal contractor for a programme of works that will enhance and expand sludge treatment operations at Thames Water's Basingstoke and Bracknell Sewage Treatment Works. The major upgrades will convert liquid treated waste into a sludge cake that offers a reduced risk of nitrate pollution run-off when introduced as a soil improver. Additionally, transporting sludge cake rather than liquid sludge off site requires fewer vehicle movements resulting in cost and waste management efficiencies whilst reducing the treatment centres' impact on the environment and neighbouring communities. write your comments about the article :: © 2011 Construction News :: home page |
