OCU was appointed to deliver wastewater and site improvements at Teign Village to increase storm capacity and enhance treatment performance.
The scheme included installation of a 100m³ storm storage tank with new inlet flow control and screening equipment. Phosphorus removal was delivered through two tertiary filtration units supported by a 5.4l/s lift pump station.
The project also required a full site power upgrade via a new local control panel (LCP) and kiosk.
