One plant at a time

5 October 2020
Montmartin-Hauteville-Annoville and Lingreville wastewater treatment authority is getting stuck into the renovation of the current Montmartin-sur-Mer WWTP, built back in 2005. This WWTP’s incoming backflow station had one weakness: the input, via multiple force mains, of H2S gas (hydrogen sulphide) that oxidises the facility’s concrete structures and its upstream manhole. The Rouen Regional Division was awarded this worksite as lowest responsible bidder in June 2020, proposing the construction of a new HDPE station, near the existing one, so as to guarantee a fully-waterproof and non-H2S sensitive facility. The works, which began in August 2020, include: the fitting of an upstream...
