BAM Nuttall wins £5.4m sewage treatment scheme

BAM Nuttall will start work early next month on a sewage treatment scheme in Cornwall for South West Water.

The £5.4m contract will involve building a new sewage treatment works, pumping station and outfall. The deal is part of the Boscastle, Bossiney and Tintagel sewage treatment scheme on the north Cornwall coast.

South West Water has said Boscastle, which was hit by severe floods in summer 2004, Bossiney and Tintagel are among the last communities in the region not to benefit from works to prevent raw sewage from the villages being discharged directly into the sea.

The deal, which is not part of the larger South West Water framework which BAM Nuttall is on, is expected to last 47 weeks.
