// Our Work

Refurbishment

CATCHWATER INTAKE MODIFICATION

Stonbury was contracted to carry out modifications to an intake located on an impounding weir and off-take structure. The intake was used to abstract water from the catchment and divert it to a nearby raw water reservoir via a 42-inch underground pipeline. However, the structure was failing to effectively screen river gravel, debris and fish from entering the pipe.

DAM AND WATERCOURSE REFURBISHMENT

A county council contracted Stonbury, to carry out a package of repair works to dams and watercourse at various locations. The repairs were required due to deterioration of the masonry, erosion, tree root damage and water ingress.

Stonbury’s civil engineering division completed the installation and refurbishment of regulatory sample taps as a part of a minor civils package for an existing reservoir refurbishment framework.

Reedbed Refurbishment

Following a condition appraisal, Stonbury were contracted to complete refurbishment works to an existing reed bed, constructed to treat the leachate from a capped putrescible tip.

Stonbury completed refurbishment works to extend the life of a 40ML underground service reservoir which indicated signs of severe ingress from rainwater.
Refurbishment

MAGNETIC VENTS FOR ACCESS COVERS

As part of an extensive refurbishment programme, Stonbury have been replacing the push-fit vents used inside security access covers on reservoir roofs. The vents allow air to pass through the reservoir while preventing insects, small animals and debris from entering the tank.

Following a statutory inspection by the client, Stonbury were contracted to complete refurbishment works inside a steel tank, which showed severe signs of rusting and peeling of the existing coatings to the walls and soffit.

Water Liner Installation

Stonbury were recently asked to inspect a reservoir that required some minor remedial works, including repairs to the exposed roof joint, however substantial ingress through the floor slabs and the adjacent redundant tank was quickly identified.
