GENERAL PROJECT

Grassholme Reservoir Safety

Together with our supply partners Esh Stantec we plan to carry out essential maintenance and improvement works to Grassholme reservoir over the next three years. These works are needed to ensure the resilience of the reservoir and improve its surrounding environment. During the work we will endeavour to keep disruption to a minimum and ensure residents and users of the reservoir area are not unduly inconvenienced. We'd really like to hear from you if you have any questions or comments so please get in touch using the 'Contact us' button at the top of the page or leave a comment below.

Update by Christine Taylor

Good morning,

The sun is shining this morning but I am now sure how long for.  Let's hope it stays like this for the weekend, but I have my doubts!

The team on site have provided me with an update of the works they have carried out so far, and the plans going forward.  I thought it would be great to share this with our customers.

So far our team have - 

  • Constructed the site access (Track B) to the south side of Carl Beck Watercourse including cut and fill to existing embankment
  • Installed the temporary road bridge to Eastern access across Carl Beck Watercourse
  • Commenced construction of site access to the north side of Carl Beck Watercourse
  • Completed the installation of Stockproof fencing to create boundary fence to adjacent landowners land.
  • Dismantled the existing Dry Stone Wall for re-use on site
  • Removed the trees and shrubs ahead of general construction activities on site.
  • Installed safety edge protection to southern embankment

Upcoming works - 

  • Topsoil strip to the Track B access road north of Carl Beck Watercourse
  • Construction of Track B access road
  • Subject to approval – Engineering Survey of land ahead of Track A construction works
  • Ecology works to install a series of BAT boxes and Bird Boxes to existing Woodland area

Have a lovely weekend and I hope the weather is kind to us all.

Christine
