Maintenance Depot and Railway Sidings, Manchester
Historic operations had resulted in the significant impact of the underlying shallow groundwater by a range of hydrocarbons and PCB’s.
These contaminants were entering the sewer system in an uncontrollable manner.
The sewer entry point was sealed and the flow diverted through a temporary water treatment plant to remove the contaminants before being re-introduced to the sewer system under a consent to discharge.
