The Mayflower Water Treatment Works supplies water to over 250,000 residents in Plymouth providing high quality drinking water, using innovative membrane technology, and long-term resilience.
The Tilbury Douglas team worked collaboratively as one of several delivery partners, carrying out civil construction works, undertaking design and installation of MEICA facilities and HV installations.
We procured the 11KV switchgear, the 2No. 2000KVA 11KV/400V step down transformers and all the subcontracts for inter-cabling and HV earthing systems. We managed the design and co-ordination of all the subcontractors.
This technology – used for the first time in the UK – reduces the water treatment works’ carbon footprint and can produce up to 90 million litres of drinking water every day.
