On May 15 the Haweswater Aqueduct Resilience Programme (HARP) will be the subject of the BTS’s evening lecture.
The insights into the challenges and innovations behind replacing 50km of tunnels through national parks, urban landscapes, and critical infrastructure, all while keeping the taps running, will be presented by United Utilities’ head of programme delivery, John McNeill, and head of construction, Nick Sharwin.
Exploring the early phases of the project up to contract award, including the identification of options, the chosen preferred solution, initial design, studies and surveys, consultation, planning and procurement during the lecture, this event is a chance to explore real-world applications of planning, design, consultation, and procurement at an extraordinary scale.
Being constructed between 1933 and 1955, the Haweswater Aqueduct is a major feat of engineering and is made up of a series of tunnels and syphon pipes and has successfully served 2.5 million people in Cumbria, Lancashire, and Greater Manchester for over 70 years.
Including construction of more than 50km of tunnels through national parks, urban areas, and around critical infrastructure, HARP is a scheme that is due to replace the six major tunnels along the aqueduct.
