AbstractNorthumbrian Water Limited has thirty‐four bathing waters and a substantial investment programme to ensure that these waters meet EC standards by 1995. One project within this overall programme is the Seaton Carew Sewerage Scheme. Seaton Carew lies on the southern edge of Hartlepool which has a population of 95000. The scheme will combine existing flows into new foul and storm‐sewage outfalls. The headworks will incorporate screening, grit removal and pumping stations with substantial measures for odour control. Hydraulic operating regimes using active pump control and passive flume control have been investigated to ensure efficient treatment for a wide range of flows. The onerous design, manufacture and construction programme has required the development of new approaches to procuring the work, whilst maintaining a substantial element of competition. The various programmes have been substantially overlapped to ensure that the scheme is completed by April 1993.
