The project, which Black & Veatch are engineering, procuring and constructing, is part of Thames Water’s £650 million investment programme to improve treatment standards and increase the volume of sewage treated at Mogden, Crossness, Beckton, Long Reach and Riverside sewage treatment works.
Steve Shine, Thames Water’s chief operating officer said: “The improvements at Mogden Sewage Works, which currently serves 1.9 million Londoners, will enable the site to treat 34% more sewage and allow for a 6% population increase until 2021. As well as significantly reducing sewage discharges, these improvements will help reduce odour at the site, as storm tank use will be reduced and new and existing equipment will be covered.”
