Winfrith Site Stakeholder Group visit Arish Mell
August 18, 2009
Representatives from the Winfrith Site Stakeholder group recently enjoyed a visit to the beach at Arish Mell, where annual maintenance work was in progress on the stretch of effluent pipeline from the beach to discharge point.
The group visited the pumphouse on site and the operation of the facility was explained to them by Bryan Ware. They then followed (by car) the route of the 6 mile pipeline which was laid in the summer of 1959.
On the beach the party were shown the valve-house and had a chance to speak with some of the divers involved with the annual maintenance work.
Sandra Ellis (Chair, Winfrith Site Stakeholder Group) commented “The group were amazed at the engineering which was performed 50 years ago, it was a fascinating visit to an area which the public do not usually get a chance to see, many thanks for facilitating the visit”.
