Long walks during the tour will be used for networking and general Q&A. After lunch, Brian Moore, the Technical Lead for the project will present on the design, pilot testing and commissioning of the plant. Mike Bedford, an asset condition/risk engineer at Thames Water will present on the operational challenges the site faces.
