Chester Water Treatment Works

New build potable water filter complex on green field site in addition to existing facilities to cope with increase in water demand.
Via a key filter media placer, Western Carbons, Garside supplied 1100t of Garside 16/30 dried filter media to be hydrostatically placed, 46t in each cell. Bulk of the sand put in hydrostatically (as image below), topped up with bagged material.
Sand was hydrostatically discharged at a rate of 40 tonne/hour into the filter.
Project started 26.11.03, finished 12.12.03 – over 3 weeks Garside supplied 1100t sand, bagged and loose.
Garside’s flexible production processes meant that a dedicated double shift was set up to meet the customer’s delivery requirements.
Sand delivered within the time scales and deadlines.
