GENERAL PROJECT

Selset Reservoir Improvement Works

Together with our supply partners Esh Stantec we plan to carry out improvement works to Selset Reservoir over a period of 7 months. These works are needed to ensure the resilience of the reservoir. We will endeavour to keep disruption to a minimum, due to low water levels in the reservoir and the need for construction machinery access and free movement the reservoir will be closed to the public for the duration of our works.

Update by Christine Taylor

Good afternoon,

I have just caught up with Ian on site and he has asked me to remind all our customers that the Selset Reservior is closed to the public whilst we carry out our works.  This will be the case for another 3 months. 

As of today we will be working weekends in attempt to acceralate our programme.

To date the team have;

  • Water levels within the reservoir have been lowered by approx. 9m to below 302.00m and are being maintained at an agreed level throughout works period
  • Temporary imported stone access road has been supplied and installed to safely reach works areas on reservoir dam wall
  • Enabling works have been carried out to allow the supply and placement of OSA (Open Stone Asphalt) repair materials to the sloping pitching on the reservoir dam face
  • OSA currently being placed by specialist subcontractor along sloping pitching area of dam wall

Have a great weekend, and let us all hope the sun makes appearance.

Christine
