Hayeswater Reservoir returned to a natural tarn
After more than 100 years of public service Hayeswater Reservoir has been restored to the natural mountain tarn it once was. Dammed in 1908 to provide drinking water to communities around Ullswater the reservoir was declared surplus to requirements in 2005. The project team of United Utilities, PaSCoE, and Eric… ∞
Ogden IR Advance
Following flood studies and physical modelling it was determined that the existing Ogden Reservoir was unable to pass a Probable Maximum Flood (PMF). To accommodate the PMF event, the existing spillways and overflows needed improvement. However to enable these improvements to be carried out, advanced works were required to divert… ∞
Ogden IR Sheet Piles & Channel
Flood studies and physical model tests demonstrated that the original overflow and spillway facilities at the Ogden Impounding Reservoir were unable to pass the Probable Maximum Flood (PMF) without overtopping onto the main earth embankment with a consequent risk of failure due to the destructive action of out-of-channel flows. The… ∞
