Case studies
Mogden Sewage Treatment Works, Twickenham,
Middlesex
Problem
A mosquito-infested and sludge-flooded digester chamber
had been leaking through sludge valves onto pipe work
that was insulated with asbestos materials.
Solution
We killed the mosquitoes using a pesticide that’s
harmless to the wildlife that frequent the chambers
at night.
We then repaired the valves using a new technique
involving the injection of acrylic grout into the stuffing
boxes of the valves.
Following this, we pumped out the 0.5m deep sludge
covering the floor of the chamber directly into a sludge
disposal lorry.
The asbestos pipe work was stripped and the entire
chamber was thoroughly decontaminated.
Result
The contract was a complete success and we have subsequently
been awarded many additional contracts as a result.
Two years after we’d completed the job, we received
a phone call from the client who was pleased to report
that the valves were still sealed and no further repairs
were needed.
