CASE STUDY

A J Morris were commissioned to construct a 15,000,000 Gallon Reservoir where we had to remove 500mm layer of topsoil and put in the outer embankment.

We excavated a 4m x 1.5m deep core trench into clay, to ensure all drainage was severed. We engineered boulder clay in 250mm layers until the crest of the reservoir was reached.

Construction was completed within a month of first arriving on the site, converting a bare arable field into a manicured and smooth 6 acre reservoir.

The machinery that we used to complete the job;

Caterpillar D8Ks

Caterpillar 463G Scrapper

Caterpillar D6T with GPS

Tractor & Water Bowser
