Background
Wimbleball dam near Dulverton in Somerset is a 50m high concrete diamond headed buttress approximately 300m long and 50m high.
The Overall Objective
Due to leakages, re-grouting works were required to be carried out to repair the Wimbleball Dam.
Solution
Siltbuster installed two water treatment plants consisting of a number of HB50s and MT30 units to deal with the flow of 540m³/hr plus pH monitoring.
Treated: 1.48 million cubic metres of high pH water with slow settling solids in suspension. (10 times the volume of Wimbleball dam).
