Case Study
The Bullring is a holding reservoir for raw water it is approximately 90m diameter and 5m deep, its holds 31ML/d approximately. The Bullring had not been cleaned since 2014 and we knew it had a vast number of mussels built up in the and around the Bullring. We had a few companies come in and quote for the job, but Aquatic Engineering seemed the most professional. We had sat down with Glyn and his team and discussed a plan of action. All Risk assessments and method statements were delivered in plenty of time for them to be checked over and agreed.
Aquatic Engineering arrived on time every day and always in the correct PPE, they are very professional in the way they approach their work, Health and safety was always a top priority. If there were any problems, they would stop work immediately and discuss a solution of how they would safely proceed. All work was completed in the agreed time frame, and a debrief was held at the end to look at any learning points.
Aquatic Engineering cleaned up any mess at the end of each day and left the site as they originally found it, Clean and tidy. For a small company they work to a very high standard and I would recommend them to any Utility Company that had a complex or challenging project to undertake.

Later we became involved in several projects at Chigwell WWTW, most notably the maintenance and cleaning of the ‘Bull Ring’ reservoir below:
The Bull Ring is a difficult to access asset, it is the main collection reservoir for water piped in from Thames Water. As with most systems in the Thames Valley, the non-native invasives, zebra & quagga mussels are an ongoing issue.
Aquatic Engineering were commissioned to provide a safe methodology and then carry out the works in 2021.
Works need to be well planned and undertaken as quickly as possible so that water supplies could be restored to the works asap. The reservoir has sheer sides, both at ground level and internally, with absolutely no access.
We pride ourselves on offering exceptional on water plant and engineering services to our partners & clients. Our experienced team always aims to fulfil project requirements in the most efficient manner. A completely free initial feasibility survey is often possible when we are in your area.
