Groundworks & earthworks
Irrigation reservoirs
We excavate and form on-farm irrigation reservoirs and water storage: digging out, building and compacting banks, and shaping for liners, spillways and access. We work to your engineer's or designer's specification and can work alongside them on site. We carry out the earthworks only — we don’t design, certify or take on planning or abstraction consents.
Discuss your projectWhat we do
- Excavate the reservoir to the design levels and footprint.
- Construct and compact banks so they hold their shape.
- Shape the profile ready for a liner where the design calls for one.
- Form spillways, inlets and access as shown on the drawings.
- Move surplus material on site or load it out.
Ideal for
- Arable and horticultural holdings needing irrigation storage
- Landowners putting in a farm reservoir to a consultant’s design
- Groundworks contractors looking for extra plant and operators on a reservoir job
