Barhale wins contract in capacity increase project at South Staffs Water's Hampton Loade works

Water treatment and recycling specialist, RSE, has awarded Barhale a civil engineering package for its £55m rebuilding and refurbishment project at South Staffs Water’s Hampton Loade water treatment works.

RSE is undertaking a programme to increase capacity at the works with a third water treatment process stream. Barhale, will deliver piling, construction of the reinforced concrete bases, and the installation of pipework and a large concrete tank. The project is due to be completed in summer 2024.

The works will include a ceramic membrane-based water-filtration system to be in what Barhale claims is the largest deployment of its kind in the UK. The Hampton Loade works in Shropshire, produces up to 210 million litres of treated water a day and serves some 700,000 customers.
