Multifuel Steam Blow Comms Information
Residents in the below outlined area near to the SSE Thermal Multifuel construction site, in Slough Trading Estate, (Pevensey Rd, Bodmin Avenue, Greenside, Chatfield, Thorndike and surrounding roads) should be aware of some upcoming planned activities that form part of the commissioning, ahead of site construction completion which is planned for completion in late Summer/early Autumn 2024. There will be proposed steam blow activities to purge the pipework, and this is planned for w/c 12 February with the duration of the activities lasting for approximately 20 days. The area is close to Claycots School and Monksfield Childrens Centre.
There will be an initial steam blow each morning between 8-9am following a 30-minute heat up period.
The second steam blow will be between 5-6pm. Whilst every effort will be made to adhere to these timings, SSE will be allowing a window of an hour either side of these times due to the heat up time not being precise. The noise will last for around 30 minutes with the latter part of the 30 minutes being louder. SSE do not anticipate the noise to be intrusive, but will be potentially audible to the surrounding area, especially in time of specific wind direction that could carry the noise.
There are no other impacts from the steam blow, and this will not create any dust or debris. SSE is also completing a door-to-door leaflet drop with this information. If there are any changes to the plans these will be communicated on the SSE Multifuel dedicated website. https://www.ssethermal.com/energy-from-waste/slough-multifuel
