Holbeam Dam Site Visit

Summary

The Project

Kier is working at Holbeam Dam for the Environment Agency to deliver a number of improvement works.

Advanced Engineering Techniques:

Construction of a stepped concrete spillway and a stilling basin, enhancing the dam’s water management capabilities.

Enhanced Safety Measures:

Raising the western dam crest by 1m and reprofiling the eastern crest with an innovative erosion protection system.

Infrastructure Upgrades:

Upgrades include resurfacing the existing access track and modifying the gatehouse structure, along with realigning vital hydraulic, electric, and control ducting.

During this site visit you will be given a tour of the project which will cover the scope of works Kier are delivering; an explanation of the environmental and ecological benefits being created and an explanation of how the dam functions to manage water.

Members: gain 2 CIOB CPD points when you reflect on the ethical aspects of your learning from this activity.
