Name of the Project
South Crofty water treatment plant project.

Location
Cornwall, UK.

Client
Strongbow Exploration.

Project Description
The project entails the construction of a water treatment plant designed to treat 25 000 m3/d of mine water and enable the dewatering of mine workings in the South Crofty tin project area. 
The South Crofty mine is currently flooded, but recent water treatment trials have shown that the water can be successfully treated to an adequate quality to permit safe dewatering of the mine. 
The mine water includes dissolved contaminates and metals in solution (primarily iron), which will be removed to allow for safe discharge of the water into the nearby Red river.

Jobs to Be Created

Value
Not stated.

Duration
A water discharge permit application was lodged with the Environment Agency in Apri and is expected to be awarded in September, which should allow for dewatering to start in the second quarter of 2018.
