Mill Fleam Pumping Station (2023)

Over recent years, Derby’s city centre has suffered historic river and surface water flooding.

In November […]

South Ferriby Flood Alleviation Scheme (2021)

South Ferriby lies on the south bank of the Humber Estuary, approximately 12 miles from Hull.

Residents were left fearing for […]

Bewdley Bank Service Reservoir (2020)

Foss Barrier (2019)

In December 2015, the most severe floods in a generation hit the City of York.

The Foss Barrier and […]

Butterley Spillway Improvements Works (2017)

Yorkshire Water’s Butterley Reservoir is located in the Wessenden Valley, West Yorkshire, with construction completed in 1906. The reservoir dam has a puddle clay core and a spillway constructed with local traditional stone. Due to fissures in the surrounding rock, leakages around the dam were experienced during the original commissioning phase, leading to a longer […]

Chantry Cottages Flood Defence Scheme (2017)

The £7.7m project to stabilise and improve 1km of flood defence embankment was initiated by the 2013 tidal surge. This caused widespread flooding to the east coast and raised water levels by over 1.5m in the Dutch River. Post-event inspection highlighted that this length of channel side was at high risk of failure and could […]

Foss Barrier (2017)

Built in 1987, the Foss Barrier forms an important part of the flood defences for the city of York. When a flood event is predicted, a mechanical gate can be closed to prevent rising waters in the River Ouse from backing up into the River Foss, preventing flooding to a large part of the city. […]
