There are three reservoirs at Witcombe, all formed by dams. We have worked at this location on two occasions. Our last contract comprised a number of interesting elements:

• sealing leaks in one of the dams by a 100 metre long trench filled with bentonite
• replacing valves in the reservoirs towers
• a new overflow linking two of the reservoirs
• a new reinforced concrete base to the main spillway
• repairs to the overflow channel
