Designing a Mixer Mounting Frame Around Live Operations

Our client presented JHT Engineering with a significant challenge: to design and install an entirely bespoke support system for a heavy mixing unit within their facility. The critical constraint? There was no opportunity to take the machine out of commission at any point. This meant the entire process – from the initial survey and design considerations to the final installation – had to occur while the mixer remained fully operational. The existing steelwork supporting the unit was old and corroding, necessitating a solution that could integrate new, robust support without interrupting service.

Enabling Safe and Unobstructed Weir Access

Ingenious Engineering – Enabling Safe and Unobstructed Weir Access Project Overview: Navigating Safety and Flow on a Full-Time WeirOur client faced a unique engineering challenge on their full-time weir: the need for safe access for maintenance and servicing. According to both BSEN 4592 and Northwest Water (NWL) safety standards, a load-rated handrail is mandatory whenever the weir walkway is in use. However, the continuous flow rate of water across this particular weir presented a critical dilemma: any permanent fixture or ongoing presence risked disrupting the flow and causing an unacceptable build-up of detritus. The challenge was clear – how to provide robust safety when needed, without compromising the weir's essential function and flow integrity.

High-Tolerance Trash Screen for Waterway Crossing

JHT Engineering, already specialists in bespoke trash screen construction, faced an intriguing challenge that added a new layer of complexity to our expertise. Our client required a trash screen that not only effectively managed waterway debris but also had the unique necessity of supporting the crossing of heavy machinery and vehicles directly over the waterway. This meant the structure needed exceptional loading tolerances, presenting a significant engineering hurdle to integrate the steel screen seamlessly and robustly into the concrete foundations.

Precision Cover Replacement for Restricted Access at Sewage Treatment Works

Our customer at a sewage treatment site in Essex faced a critical challenge: an existing access cover was proving to be inefficient and difficult to handle. Its significant weight and cumbersome nature meant it was unsuitable for single-person operation, posing a clear operational bottleneck that required an urgent and efficient solution.The complexity was further amplified by the cover's location. An overhead gantry used for lifting pumps out of the chamber, along with the legs of a junction box station, were in close proximity. This severely restricted space presented considerable design and installation challenges. The client needed a new cover that was not only easy to operate but also designed to fit seamlessly and safely within this tight, tricky environment.
