Reservoirs

Kingfisher Consulting offers services in reservoir engineering ranging from flood studies and design of spillways and other hydraulic structures through to dam raising and slope remediation.

Jonathan Butterworth has been a member of the Supervising Panel under the Reservoir Act 1975 since its inception in 1987. He is currently appointed Supervising Engineer on nineteen large raised reservoirs and has been a member of the main committee of the British Dam Society. He was editor of the prestigious Dams and Reservoirs Journal from 2014 to 2017, a peer-reviewed publication distributed to 169 countries.

Current work for 2018 includes remediation of seven cascade dams, new grass reinforced spillways for two reservoirs in the Midlands, new overflow structures for a large raised dam in the Pennines and risk assessment of various dams in Scotland.

In addition to in-house Supervising Engineer duties, we are able to offer statutory dam inspections through a network of independent members of the All Reservoir Panel.
