Work has started to install a 4th treatment tank at A&J Scott’s main sawmill site at Wooperton in Northumberland, as the company seeks to increase its offer of pressure treated (Tanalised) fencing products and railway sleepers. With foundations being prepared now, the new tank is due to arrive in October and plans are in place to have it fully operational in time for the new year. 

The tank will take treatment capacity at the site over 2000m3 per week, to complement increases in output acheived through the company’s investments in new and improved production facilities over recent years.

The company also runs a further pressure treatment plant at its manufacturing site in the Scottish borders, primarily used in the production of boxes for storage of potatoes and other vegetables.
