Our Work.

Water Saving Scheme

Our client near Plymouth needed to limit their use of potable (drinking quality) water where possible. We worked closely with them to design an automated system which utilised final effluent from a sewage treatment process to feed the high usage parts of their plant.

The scheme included: -

  • AutoCAD drawing production.

  • Reinforced concrete plinths and concrete access paths

  • 180m of cable ducts and below ground pipework

  • Tying-in to existing PVC pipework systems

  • Pipework systems included MDPE, ABS and PVC, up to 100mm

  • A block built structure complete with removable aluminium insulated roof and insect mesh ventilation to house a pressure controlled pumping system

  • Pump instrumentation for over-temperature, over-pressure and low level inhibits

  • Gate valves, non-return valve, stainless steel and PVC ball valves

  • Flowmeter

  • Duplex strainer for added protection of the process components

  • Future proofing for a second, standby pump by including connection elements within the pipework system

  • M&E allowances incorporated to provide a future automatic self cleaning filter system

Storm Capacity Scheme

Our client requested a new and robust temporary solution to assist in the management of storm flows at a site near Truro, in Cornwall.

The access is difficult due to the steep topography and terrain, and this added to further challenges with slope, available build space and planned works by other contractors.

We developed a combined programme that maximised efficiency, incorporating Ground Investigation works, temporary works, and then civils design and construction through to commissioning, hitting the client’s tight deadlines.

The tanks had to delivered to a local hold point for transfer to more appropriate delivery vehicles, built even then, the last part of their journeys was via telehandler for subsequent positioning onto our cured reinforced concrete slab.

We sized, selected and procured pumps, pipework, an actuated valve and flow and level instrumentation, and designed and built a control panel to look after this temporary system.

The commitment shown by our Civils and M&E teams, together with their ability to work hand in hand across the disciplines to meet the programme, is testament to our approach at Ebro.

This actuated 450mm valve installation involved modifying the existing pipework and tying a new eccentric plug valve complete with modulating AUMA actuator to an adjacent thrust block. Our team undertook the work during a full works shutdown with expert planning and precise execution.

The existing reed bed distribution channel on this site needed significant work. Half of it had collapsed, rendering it ineffective. Our team worked diligently to design and build a replacement in masonry, ensuring its proper functionality.

Over the years, Ebro Solutions has completed numerous tanking and repair systems for substructures, as well as applied impermeable membranes to potable water-retaining structures and bund walls at chemical installations.

A meticulously designed blockwork enclosure complete with removable aluminium insulated roof and insect mesh ventilation. We selected and procured a pump skid for this project, to suit the site needs in terms of pressure and flows. Ensuring excellent future access for operational and maintenance needs was key to driving the design, and here you can see how we were able to carefully fit the entire system into a limited space, as the site allowed. The door followed later!

Our cover installation was undertaken using a fall restraint safe system of work, lifting equipment for removal of the broken out existing unit, and a designated barriered off zone. The barriers, together with communication with the residents, ensured the job was delivered safely and efficiently.
