Last Saturday saw the SPE Christmas Party being held at the NEC’s Party World - and how fabulous it was! The ladies all looked gorgeous, whilst the guys scrubbed up well…a vast improvement on how they look in their usual work gear 😂!

Full on entertainment and fun with acrobats, dancers, bumper cars, drinks and 3 course dinner, followed by dancing - wonderful. 😊

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all....

The much-awaited SPE Christmas Party was held on Saturday 17th at The Tardebigge, Redditch.

We had a delicious 3 course dinner, complete with crackers, a Christmas Raffle with some rather unusual prizes, and last but by no means least, Max the Amazing Magician! Try as we all (definitely) did, we could not see how he carried out his tricks - even very, very close-up. A wonderful, festive evening full of fun, laughter and friendship.

All of us here at SPE Ltd would like to wish our customers and suppliers a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

SPE Ltd has just completed a major project at Wood Norton, on the outskirts of Evesham in Worcestershire. The project, undertaken jointly for The Wood Norton Hotel and the Bupa’s recently built Richmond Care Village, has taken over 12 months to complete and included the design, build and final commissioning of a new sewage treatment plant (STP) and a reed bed.

Tom French, the Capital Projects & Refurbishments Manager for Bupa Care Services said: "...SPE took control of the entire process, they managed the design, the procurement, the installation and the handover in addition to liaising with the Environment Agency. The level of faith and assurance I have in SPE throughout this process is second to none, the knowledge and personable service they offer couldn’t be higher. SPE also go the extra mile, this involved liaising with the residents and operatives within Richmond Village including numerous site tours and detailed handover, in addition to unknowns occurring during the process. Despite the fact the installation has been handed over, SPE are still present ensuring the system is working to its optimum level in the initial weeks and I could not be more comfortable in the fact that they will continue to maintain it going forward...."

Recently installed Ammonia Monitoring System

SPE recently designed and installed a replacement ammonia monitoring system at a wastewater treatment works within the UK.

The new system's probe assembly differed in size from its predecessor and this posed an issue with the install. The previous system was designed to work in conjunction with the relatively large range of operation within a wet well. The new probe had a much shorter body, which meant that the large range of pump operation posed a risk of full submersion.

Both SPE and the client worked out a method of installation that would eliminate the risk, involving designing and fabricating a stainless-steel catchment tank, and installing the probe and tank in a new location.

SPE commissioned local company B Hepworth & Co Ltd, to fabricate the catchment tank from 316 stainless-steel. The design incorporated support / runners to locate the probe securely and an integrated baffle.

The design and installation work perfectly and the new probe looks completely at home as it measures the levels of ammonia within the effluent leaving the site...and we have one very happy client!
