Controlling water flow from an abandoned mine to a nearby river
The situation
When water fills our customer’s abandoned asset, it’s pumped to a nearby river.
However, the water within the asset contains potentially harmful deposits and high salinity levels, so it can only be discharged into the river when the river is deep enough to dilute it.
The water levels in the asset must also be carefully controlled to prevent water from escaping into unknown, unmonitored, and underground channels and polluting watercourses.
The optimal pumping solution to lower costs and prevent pollution
The situation
A pumping station feeding water to a treatment scheme was failing too often, becoming costly and time-consuming to fix. The customer approached Oren Environmental to find a long-term, more cost-effective solution to the problem.
Improving treatment processes through desludging settlement lagoons
The situation
Oren Environmental operates and maintains many water treatment schemes across the UK for customers, manages reed beds, and undertakes large-scale desludging projects for various commercial organisations.
As industry leaders in our sector, our customer asked us to desludge two settlement lagoons at their water treatment scheme.

OUR WATER SERVICES TEAM HAVE BEEN GETTING STUCK INTO MAKING A DIFFERENCE
Working as part of Severn Trent Services, all our employees get two days per year to go out and give back to our local communities.
Recently, some of our Commercial Water Services team, who operate and maintain thousands of assets that provide water and wastewater services across the UK, teamed up with Bromford Housing to support a local in need of a garden refresh.
IT’S ONE BIG FAMILY IN WATER SERVICES CONTRACTS
The Water Services Contracts (WSC) department is the largest in Severn Trent Services, a part of Severn Trent. It specialises in providing water and wastewater asset management services for private networks nationwide.
WSC has a team of over 180 highly engaged people, scoring 8.6/10 for engagement in an annual survey, which exceeds industry benchmarks. The department’s turnover rate is lower than the UK average, so employees tend to stay with the company, too.
Many employees have recommended Severn Trent Services to their relatives and partners as a great place to work. We spoke to those who’ve encouraged their friends and family to join, and this is what they had to say.
