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… ∞
Ogden IR Wedge Block
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… ∞
Ogden IR Dam Stability
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… ∞
Milwr Tunnel
Milwr Tunnel is a mine drainage adit extending 10 miles from Cadole near Loggerheads, Denbighshire to Bagillt on the Dee Estuary in North Wales. The tunnel outfall is located approximately 100m inland from the banks of the River Dee and water flows to the Dee via a 18m wide 6m… ∞
Holden Wood IR
Flood studies and physical model tests demonstrated that the existing overflow and spillway facilities at the Holden Wood 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…. ∞
