About the project

The Southern Resilience Scheme provides improved security of water supply to a population of approximately 280,000 people across Bristol Water’s supply area. The scheme comprised a new 30km ductile iron main of 600mm and 700mm diameters predominantly in fields utilising open-cut and directional drilling installation techniques as well as utilising an existing former railway tunnel which currently accommodated a cycle route and pedestrian footpath. 

As well as the new pipeline, works comprised the upgrade of an existing pumping station at Cheddar Treatment Works. This included the installation of new pumps, associated pipework, a surge protection system, secondary chlorination, electrical upgrade and ICA works.

The scheme represented one of the largest projects in Bristol Water’s history.
