Windmill Hill Reservoir Project

Shay Murtagh was engaged by Shareridge Ltd. to design, manufacture and install a water reservoir in Rathoath, Co. Meath. To achieve the required head of pressure a lower tank was first constructed and back filled. This provided a solid base for which to construct the upper tank. The lower tank measured 37.250m in diameter with a panel height of 4.25m. The lower tank consists of 49no. 2.4m * 4.25m panels, erected over 2 days. Once the erection was completed the lower tank was backfilled.

Once back filled and tested for bearing capacity the upper tank base was poured. The upper tank internal dimension measure 31.130m with a panel height of 7.5m. The upper tank consists of 41no. 2.4m * 7.50m panels erected over 2 days, 32no columns, 33no top bands, 43no internal baffle walls and 74no roof slabs. The roof slabs are also covered with a concrete screed. The total height of the structure is in excess of 12.24m. The structure was completed using a 5-7 man crew using a combination of Shay Murtagh Crawler Crane and Shay Murtagh Hi-Abs.
