Breamfield
Derbyshire,

Commissioned by Severn Trent Water and delivered by MTN Structures, the Breamfield DSR (Distribution Service Reservoir) is a water supply improvement scheme located on a remote hillside in Derbyshire’s Peak District. The project involves building a fully enclosed, 12-million-litre capacity concrete reservoir featuring a 400 m2 roof to expand and enhance the regional water network.
Working together, SKYDECK and MULTIPROP provided an adaptable solution for the construction of the 400 m² sloping roof slab. While SKYDECK accelerated formwork cycles through its early striking capabilities, MULTIPROP delivered the strength and clearance required below the slab, helping the project progress safely and efficiently in a remote hillside location.
PERI's SKYDECK formwork system was selected for its lightweight design, allowing installation to continue efficiently without relying on crane availability. Its early striking capability also enabled formwork components to be reused quickly between pours, helping maintain programme continuity despite challenging winter conditions.
MULTIPROP props were designed into the shoring layout at 2.25 m spans, creating the clear working space needed beneath the roof slab. This arrangement allowed up to seven scissor lifts and three installation teams to operate safely and efficiently at the same time, reducing congestion and improving site productivity.
