Innovative water treatment plant Davyhulme secured with high resolution MOBOTIX M24 cameras

Mobotix AG, a leading manufacturer of complete high-resolution IP video systems have released details of an installation by SeSys Limited, a MOBOTIX Solution Partner, that is recording construction of a new treatment process at Davyhulme Wastewater Treatment Works. The project uses an innovative process to be constructed by Principal Contractor Black & Veatch that has generated a lot of interest and prompted the need to record the development of the project from the ground up.

The United Utilities plant, one of the UK's largest wastewater treatment works (WwTW), will be able to generate increased electricity from biogas from the new process, some of which will be exported from the site and will become a valuable source of renewable energy for the National Grid. The process will also create a sustainable soil improvement product. To chronicle the upgrade to Davyhulme, Black & Veatch selected SeSys to provide a wireless network, multiple high resolution MOBOTIX M24 cameras linked to a monitoring and recording solution.

The system will record the construction of the new process, the first of its type in the United Utilities area, which will adopt an efficient technique that involves casting a large base to which all process equipment can then be delivered, sometimes already assembled. This method allows many more stages of the build process to take place simultaneously.

The camera system allows United Utilities staff to remotely view the site, which gives interested parties a feel for the scale of the project without needing to visit the site. This can help to reduce journeys, contributing to its position as a sustainable and environmentally responsible company. The cameras will create a detailed record of the 2-year construction project to be retained for future reference as a time-lapse video.
