Workload for 2012 was up 10% on the previous year. Works undertaken have included construction of storm water and foul water sewers, gravity sewers, rising mains, reinforced concrete works, service reservoir construction, installation of package sewage treatment systems and pumping stations, installation of first time sewage systems and MEICA works. Dyer, under contract to Black & Veatch, handled the Thames Water Long Crendon sewage treatment works upgrade, a £450,000 project.


This involved construction of a new primary filter, distribution chamber, collection chamber, pipework and inner valves. Works also included full depth reconstruction of an existing access road and construction of a new footpath.


Due to the proximity of the raised access to the site and the location of the excavation for the new primary filter, the sides of the excavation could not be battered to all sides, and therefore, the design required an interlocking curved concrete wall to be constructed.
