Case Study – Anglian Water – WRC Extensions
The Cambridge Growth Scheme provides additional treatment capacity for growth in the Cambridge Water Recycling Centre catchment as projected by Anglian Water’s regulatory growth targets output. The project was delivered in two phases. Phase 1 to provide a treatment capacity of 168,000pe (population equivalent) to cater for initial expected growth, and a Phase 2 treatment capacity increase of 27,000pe to 195,000pe. This increased the capacity from the original population equivalent of 145,000. However, both phases were delivered without a break in construction on site. In addition, as a result of the growth and changed pollutant loads to the receiving watercourse, the river Cam, received a new quality consent. There were significant project improvements in business processes, the delivery time, and savings.
