Northumbrian Water 
26.35m span x 67.63m long
 
Northumbrian Water contacted Rubb Buildings Ltd with a requirement for an environmental protection structure to cover a number of water clarification tanks at Warkworth water treatment works.

The large environmental cover was custom designed to suit the existing layout of the tanks on site.

To accommodate the clarification procedure, a 26.35m x 67.63m BVI type building with a leg height of 3m was constructed. The building was also designed to take onboard all equipment and piping, which is fed in and around the tanks.

The building cover was constructed using green PVC to prevent algae growth within the tanks by limiting sunlight. This effectively reduced downtime for cleaning and speeded up the clarification process.

To sustain a comfortable environment, low-level mesh vents were constructed around the perimeter of the cover and roof vents were added to reduce the humidity.
