Chetwynd Water Reservoir, Cork

Surface Contaminants & Deterioration: The presence of accumulated grime, biofilm, and pollutants on concrete surfaces necessitated a thorough high-pressure clean-down before coatings and repairs could be applied. Potable Water Safety Compliance: The interior of the reservoir required the application of a fully compliant, potable water-approved surface waterproofing system to meet regulatory standards. Access- Due to the height of the tank, an MEWP was supplied to allow for access to the tank. A frame with a winch to lower/ remove materials and equipment from the tank was also used. Water ingress- Due to water ingress through the roof it meant that the roof joints had to be sealed before work inside could be done. Scale- Due to the size of the tank, a large crew of specialised operatives, along with a large quantity of material was needed to complete the project. As well as this, due to the height of the wall joints, a scaffolding team was building a working platform in front of the AQL team at all times.
