Campbeltown WwTW

Project Overview

Scottish Water (SW) identified the need for long term investment to reduce the flooding in Campbeltown and storm spills into Campbeltown Loch. The conceived project was split into 5 works packages.

The Work Package 1 (WP1) scope to increase the capacity of Campbeltown WwTW to 95l/s through provision of new screens and a 65l/s temporary SAF plant was recently completed by EPS. This temporary plant is designed to operate for three years until WP5 is commissioned. The spare capacity in the temporary SAF plant facilitates WP2, where capital maintenance work on the existing aeration lanes and MBR plant results in their reduced capacity.  Following successful construction and commissioning of the side stream SAF plant, and removal and replacement of the existing screens and screens handling plant EPS are now operating the temporary plant and progressing the construction of WP2. To expedite the scheme EPS was engaged early, assisting during optioneering, design development and initial site works (investigation and sampling).  EPS provided a Technical Communications Engineer to manage PR and installed a full time Process Engineer onsite assisting SW Operations with issues arising within the original plant.  An EPS planner supported SW in scheduling this scheme and WP2-5.  EPS engaged Kit framework suppliers to undertake procurement of plant. Long lead items in WP2 were identified and procured under WP1 to facilitate programme milestones. EPS identified and engaged local Campbeltown contractors that were eager to partner and add value to the scheme both through their skilled contribution but also by supporting  project public relations.
