Concrete storage tanks for reservoirs


THAMES WATER WORDS f is using pre-cast concrete storage tanks to build two new underground water storage reservoirs in Reading.


The pre-cast concrete storage tanks, which will be manufactured elsewhere and constructed on site, will hold 14.6Ml of water between them.


Construction is now underway and the tanks will be sited underneath the park in Elm Lane and next to the existing Earley reservoir. They will act as holding


tanks on the water supply network, ensuring there is enough treated water in the right place for busy times of the day, such as first thing in the morning when people are using showers.


Thames says that the fully-


covered tanks will provide drinking water for the growing population in the surrounding area over the next 30 years.


David Chopping, Earley ward councillor, said: “This reservoir should see the high quality of water maintained, even as demand increases. Wokingham Borough Council and Earley Town Council have been able to work with Thames Water to see that the environmental impact of this reservoir is minimised and that when the reservoir is completed that the environment will be returned to its original condition.


“We need improved services and this is the right way forward, with interested parties co-operating in a reasonable way.”

The system combined of a pump suitable for water, a tubular heater and inlet and outlet connections.


A prototype was supplied and successfully underwent testing, which resulted in a further batch being ordered with more to follow. The
