Coppermills WTW
Construction of 12 Rapid Gravity Filters using an off-site ethos to maximum effect.
Coppermills WTW is located in North London adjacent to the Walthamstow Wetlands and a 300- acre reservoir system providing approximately one third of London’s drinking water, supplying North and East London primarily and to the wider London water supply system.

Construction of 12 Rapid Gravity Filters using an off-site ethos to maximum effect.
Coppermills WTW is located in North London adjacent to the Walthamstow Wetlands and a 300- acre reservoir system providing approximately one third of London’s drinking water, supplying North and East London primarily and to the wider London water supply system.
EPS undertook the off-site construction of 12 filter flumes in stainless steel which would traditionally have been built on site in cast-in-situ concrete and the main two filter feed pipework galleries which would otherwise have been built on site. The site labour reduction brought about was 92% in this area with Zero accidents.
