MLM were appointed by Mowlem Engineering to carry out the detailed design of a chlorine contact tank and pumping station.
The original scheme was considered too expensive and we worked closely with the Client and the Contractor to provide a design which satisfied their requirements and budget.
The final design comprised a reinforced concrete underground CCT with integral dry well pumping station.
As part of the design it was necessary to connect the CCT into the existing system at a point some distance from the new tank. This required careful design of large diameter pipelines to suit the numerous existing services, relatively fragile existing structures and the hydraulic design.
Detailed design was carried out as construction progressed resulting in a programme of only 8 months from preliminary design to completion of construction.
