Interesting to see the work being carried out by Morrison Enpure as part of the Waste Water Treatment improvements in Campbeltown (see photos below). During the summer Morrison Enpure installed the 1600mm diameter extension to Kinlock Park Puming Station and fixed the concrete weight collars to the 1.5km of 710mm diameter pipe that crosses Campbeltown Loch.

The pipe has now been sunk to the seabed and the present works, involving the 75 tonne crane barge "Woodstock", are centered on jetting a trench into the seabed, placing the pipe within the trench and then backfilling the seabed.

The barge started at approximately the third point of the length and is working towards the Esplanade. When this section is complete the barge will return to the start point and commence workng towards Trench Point.

Two minds work alike KFN .
Pics taken on Friday afternoon with contractors trying to move the pipeline which was off track. A second breach of the seawall was now needed for the pipe to connect to the pumping station.

General Update

The first four of five phases of improvements to Campbeltown’s waste water network - to increase the pumping capacity from Kinloch Park Pumping Station to Slaty Farlan WWTW – have been completed and will help reduce the number of discharges into Campbeltown Loch. This work includes a rising main, whose route includes a stretch beneath the sea. Contractors Black & Veatch are due to start work on the fifth phase of work, the long-term solution, in April. This will improve the pumping station and provide storm treatment at the WWTW and increased foul treatment.
