A joint venture between Bam Nuttall and Doosan Enpure has been appointed by Thames Water to relocate a sewage-treatment works in Guildford, the UK.

The scope of work under the five-year design, build and commission contract involves demolition of the existing 60-year-old facility to construct new housing on the site.

A 1.5km, 1,500mm-diameter tunnel will also be constructed to transport the sewage from Guildford’s existing sewer network to the new site.

The project will include construction of facilities to perform the four stages of treatment before the treated water is returned to the River Wey through a newly built outfall.

Guildford Borough Council will fund the new, modern sewage-treatment works, which will be built at a former landfill on the Slyfield Industrial Estate.

The new works will be Thames Water’s first new, modern sewage-treatment works since 2005 and will be designed to allow for future expansion to meet the demand from Guildford’s growing population.
