The water filters upgrading works finally started in June 2012. 4 units of filters were upgraded which had increased the filtration capacity of the filters.
The works sequences were as follows:
1. Removal of existing filter media.
2. Hacking of existing filter bed concrete slab and removal of existing lateral pipes.
3. Installation of new lateral pipes.
4. Concreting of new filter bed concrete slab.
5. Installation of new filter nozzles and air scour pipe.
6. Air distribution test.
7. Charge in new filter media.
8. Backwash and put the filter into service.
To tell the story of the upgrading works, I believe it is better to describe them in photos rather than in words.
