Aggreko supplies gensets for £6m Isle of Man sewage project


GENSETS


Aggreko has supplied two 200kVA generators to power a temporary dewatering plant at Ramsey on the Isle of Man, reports UKPN. Having a reliable, continuous, temporary power supply is crucial to Manx Ultilities’ current construction operations, reports UKPN.


anx Utilities' £6m project, which is scheduled for completion in late Spring 2017, will replace the outdated infrastructure with new sewage treatment plant via a new pipeline and pumping station, a refurbished pumping station and new transmission pipeline. The construction project is being led by main contractor Auldyn Construction Ltd Aggreko has supplied two 200kVA generators to power a temporary dewatering plant while the permanent infrastructure is completed. The company also provided 12 pumps to support construction of the new permanent dewatering plant.

ACE Hire & Sales, which is located on the island, is taking care of refuelling of the diesel generators, together with servicing and maintenance.


Aggreko has synchronised the two generators so that if one should break down, the other will support the full electrical load – causing no disruption to the construction and civil engineering project. Keith Watterson, General Manager for ACE Hire & Sales said: “Aggreko was able to support us in delivering power to this major construction project. The synchronised


generators provide a failsafe solution to maintain a continuous power supply. “As a local business, we are able to refuel the generators and take care of servicing and preventative maintenance to ensure the technology is in peak condition and operating at optimum efficiency."


The new sewage treatment plant will ensure that Ramsey meets stringent EU bathing water quality standards.


This £6M scheme will provide first-time sewage treatment for Ramsey via a new pipeline and pumping station to be built at the Vollan fields in Ramsey; and for Andreas via a refurbished pumping station and a new transmission pipeline. The existing outfall located North of Mooragh Promenade will discharge the treated effluent from Balladoole STW, whilst the Smeale sewage outfall in Andreas, dating back to the 1940s will be taken out of service. Chairman, Alf Cannan MHK told UKPN: “This is great news for residents of the North who will no longer have raw sewage being discharged into the sea at Smeale and Ramsey - and will have huge benefits for the beaches and the marine environment.”
