| Work Detail |
Siltbuster has provided a water treatment solution to civil engineering and construction company JN Bentley to support a Welsh Water resilience project. The temporary modular water treatment solution was designed by Siltbuster’s team of technical engineers and deployed in two weeks. Equipped with inlet monitoring telemetry and monitoring systems, Siltbuster’s system included three containerised dosing units, three 30m3 multistage reaction tanks, 18 HB50 Clarifiers and a 30m3 sludge storage tank with related pipework. The system was used by JN Bentley during the Castell Nos Reservoir infrastructure’s maintenance work. The reservoir is located in South Wales. During the course of maintenance work, the reservoir required a complete drain down and an alternative raw water supply from a nearby reservoir for uninterrupted water supply. JN Bentley was also required to complete the project within the time frame outlined by Natural Resources Wales. Furthermore, the water main was inactive for over ten years and needed restoration. The potable water treatment works and the alternative source are connected by the water main. It required a pipe flush at a flow rate of 750m3/hr for a minimum of six hours to remove the suspended solids. JN Bentley Works Manager James Stanley Ball said: “This was a challenging project, but Siltbuster was professional from the initial delivery of its documents through to the actual implementation of the system on-site. “As far as we are concerned, finding an organisation that was not only able to work to extremely tight deadlines and create a bespoke system to fit our exact needs, but also cope with such unusually high flow rates, was a dream come true. Everything it introduced worked better than expected, making our lives easier on-site.” |
