GENERAL PROJECT

Lockwood Beck Reservoir Safety

Together with our supply partners Interserve we plan to carry out essential ground works maintenance, investigation and improvements to Lockwood Beck reservoir, starting on site on the 24th August and lasting for around 16 weeks. For the safety of all visitors, site users and those working on the project, the decision has been made to close the site for the duration of the work. I would like to thank adjacent residents and visitors for their patience while we undertake this essential work.

Update by Shafqat Akbar

In today's update, I want to talk about the works our site teams are doing.

We have set up the project compound. We have established pedestrian routes to separate pedestrians from traffic. There are hand sanitising stations set up to help with managing the covid risk. We have limited numbers of people that can be in one cabin at any time.

Following the recent rainfall, the leve of water in the reservoir is high. This photograph shows the large amount of water that flows into the spillway.

The earthworks operations are progressing well. This photograph shows the start of the strengthening works at the top of the reservoir dam.

A lot of work is progressing at the bottom of the dam. The recent wet weather has waterlogged the ground.
