Overview

Join Simon Papiernik, operations director, and Hayley Jackson, site manager at Coffey, for an overview of the Derwent Reservoir. Located between the Howden and Ladybower Reservoirs in the Upper Derwent Valley, northeast Derbyshire.

This presentation will cover:

  • A brief history of the formation of the scour hole at Derwent Reservoir. This scour hole, 4-5m deep and  210m³ in volume, developed over several years due to flow direction issues
  • The challenges faced with undertaking a construction project in an area of natural beauty
  • The construction of a new gabion basket retaining wall, designed to prevent the complete collapse of the inlet into the reservoir

This is an exciting opportunity to learn more about the winner of the Small Project Award at the ICE East Midlands Merit Awards 2024.
