GENERAL PROJECT

West Hallington Reservoir Improvements

In order to maintain the safe operation of West Hallington reservoir there are works required to ensure the continued resilience of the asset in order to be compliant with the requirements of the Reservoir Act. In order to do this, it is necessary to carry out works to improve the drawdown capacity of the reservoir which will require construction activity from May 2022 until the end of July 2023. This will result in restrictions to access around the reservoir crest and an increase in construction traffic during this period.

Morning everyone, the team have made great progress despite very challenging weather conditions so here is where we are currently.

  • They had continued with the stone pitching for the crest embankment.
  • The copings stones have been laid at the top of the stone ready for the gabion baskets.
  • Gabion baskets have now been made up and started to fill with stone.

Here are some photos for you to have a look at, feel free to get in touch with any questions.
