Works undertaken have included construction of stormwater and foul water sewers, gravity sewers, rising mains, reinforced concrete works, service reservoir construction, installation of package sewage treatment systems and pumping stations, installation of first time sewage systems and MEICA works. Dyer & Butler, under contract to Black & Veatch, handled the Thames Water Long Crendon sewage treatment works upgrade, a £450,000 project. This involved construction of: • A new primary filter • A distribution chamber • A collection chamber • Pipework • Inner valves. Works also included full depth reconstruction of an existing access road and construction of a new footpath. The company said that due to the proximity of the raised access to the site and the location of the excavation for the new primary filter, the sides of the excavation could not be battered to all sides, and therefore, the design required an interlocking curved concrete wall to be constructed. Dyer & Butler proposed and implemented an alternative using the temporary works sheet piling as a permanent solution incorporated into the final design and therefore negating requirement for the Porcupine retaining wall. tHe NuMberS 09-10 10-11 11-12 % cHANge Sales £M 50.4 48.5 61.8 27 Gross profit £M 6.7 5.9 7.1 20.1 Operating profit £M 1.1 0.6 1.2 -100 Pre-tax profit £M 1.1 0.5 1.2 122 Staff 380 325 373 15 Net assets £M 1.1 1.5 2.4 57.5 tHe rAtIOS 09-10 10-11 11-12 % cHANge Return on capital % 94.8 35.5 49.9 41 Gross margin % 13.3 12.1 11.4 -5.7 Operating margin % 2.1 1.1 2 73 Net margin % 2.1 1.1 2 74 Sales/employee £K 132.6 149.3 165.7 11 Industrial Penstocks Limited Total Flow Control Quality Assured Products Quality Assured Service Unit 1 & 2 Washington Ind Est, Washington Street, Netherton, West Midlands DY2 9PH t: 01384 458411 f: 01384 246952 sales@industrialvalve.co.uk Industrial Valves Limited Total Valve Packages Penstocks Installation and Site Support Actuated Valves Pipeline Products Dosing pumps with integrated flow control. seepex progressive cavity dosing pumps are used in all industries for precise metering without the need for pulsation dampeners or control valves.
