Guidance: Service reservoir panel engineers: contact details

Imported from official source

Service reservoir panel engineers are civil engineers qualified to carry out tasks on:

  • service reservoirs – a type of non-impounding reservoir that is built of bricks, masonry or concrete and normally enclosed with a roof
  • 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
  • large raised reservoirs – have a volume of at least 25,000 cubic metres above ground level
  • Service reservoir panel engineers are civil engineers qualified to:

  • design and supervise the construction and alteration of service reservoirs
  • inspect, produce a report and make safety recommendations for any high-risk service reservoir
  • oversee and certify that safety recommendations have been carried out at a high-risk service reservoir
  • supervise any 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 service reservoir
  • bring an abandoned service reservoir back into use as a large raised reservoir
  • design and supervise the alteration of a service reservoir so it is no longer a large raised reservoir
  • certify a flood plan 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.
