Barrow Hill Reservoir is located in Central London at Primrose Hill. The reservoir is a twin cell service reservoir with an internal Valve Chamber.
Works involved;
- Construction of 25ML Capacity Reservoir
- Design & construction of precast roof system, in place of the insitu structure
- Full hydrostatic test on structure
- Waterproofing membrane to roof with Deckdrain protection board
This was the first reservoir to be built in London in a century. The new structure was built on the site of a brick-built reservoir that was constructed in 1826 and used continuously, until it was taken out of commission in 2002 after ground movement caused damage to the roof.
The Barrow Hill Reservoir plays an important role on ensuring the resilience of supply and its capacity provides Thames Water with the ability to maximise the efficiency of its pumping regime for moving water around the ring main.
