World leading post graduate Cranfield University is planning to build a Clean Water Pilot hall to extend its research capability on sewage.
The new ‘Clean’ Pilot Hall building will give the Water Science Department greater capacity for research on treated sewage and will link with the ‘Dirty’ Pilot Hall where the research concentrates more on raw sewage.
The funding for the scheme is from UKCRIC funding - planned completion date is the end of June 2018 with researchers moving in from August 2018.
The outline design proposals were submitted for planning approval on 12th July and approval is anticipated by the end of October 2017.
The project is among a number of state-of-the-art new facilities to upgrade the nation's infrastructure created at 11 universities as part of the UK Collaboratorium for Research on Infrastructure and Cities (UKCRIC).
UKCRIC has been established at 14 universities to conduct world-leading research through a network of experimental facilities and urban laboratories.
The Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) has supported the establishment of UKCRIC with an investment of £125 million – a total of more than £216.6 million is being invested in the new facilities by EPSRC and partner organisations. Government support for UKCRIC was first announced in the 2015 Budget.
Estimated date for the publication of the contract notice inviting tenders for the work is 23rd October 2017. Click here for the Prior Information Notice
