Almondbank WWTW

Client

Caledonian Water Alliance & Scottish Water

Duration

2 Weeks

Project Overview

A&L MEICA were engaged on the Almondbank WWTW project on behalf of Caledonia Water Alliance & Scottish Water. The project involved the relocation of the incoming site power supply, including the cable head and metering, as well as the back feed supply to existing services; ensuring operation and site outputs are maintained. Initially, the incoming supply cable was found insufficient to meet the customer’s power demand. This issue was clarified with the network distributor and the client design team, leading to a redefined scope of works. The project included the installation of a 25mm 5 core SWA cable to service the existing plant building.
