Non-impounding reservoir panel engineers: contact details
Appoint a panel engineer for your reservoir.
Applies to England and Wales
Appoint a non-impounding reservoir panel engineer
Non-impounding reservoir panel engineers are civil engineers qualified to carry out tasks on:
-
non-impounding reservoirs – a type of reservoir that does not obstruct the flow of a river and is normally filled by pumping water into it
-
service reservoirs – a type of non-impounding reservoir that is built of bricks, masonry or concrete and normally enclosed with a roof
-
large raised reservoirs – have a volume of at least 25,000 cubic metres above ground level
-
high-risk reservoirs – a reservoir is high-risk if it is large raised and the Environment Agency thinks an uncontrolled release of water could endanger human life
Non-impounding reservoir panel engineers can:
-
design and supervise the construction and alteration of non-impounding and service reservoirs
-
inspect, produce a report and make safety recommendations for a high-risk non-impounding or service reservoir
-
oversee and certify that safety recommendations have been carried out at a high-risk, non-impounding or service reservoir
-
supervise a high-risk large raised reservoir and produce a statement once a year
-
act in an emergency to protect people and property against a possible escape of water from a non-impounding or service reservoir
-
bring an abandoned non-impounding or service reservoir back into use as a large raised reservoir
-
design and supervise the alteration of a non-impounding or service reservoir such that it is no longer a large raised reservoir
-
certify a flood plan for a non-impounding or service reservoir
Contact a non-impounding reservoir panel engineer
There are currently no engineers appointed to the non-impounding reservoir panel.
See the all reservoirs panel engineer contact list, or you can use the service reservoir panel engineer contact list for a service reservoir.
Joint reservoir engineer panels for England and Wales
The Secretary of State and Welsh ministers have established new joint reservoir engineer panels for England and Wales.
The new panels started on 1 January 2022. They will run alongside and eventually replace the existing panels. From 1 January 2022, the list of panel engineers will include both the existing panel members and the new joint panel members. You can choose any engineer from the list.
For more information see the joint determination made by the Secretary of State and the Welsh ministers.
