Following the statutory inspection of the Loch Tummel reservoir “matters in the interest of safety” were raised requiring a stability analysis be carried out to check the behaviour of the dam under load from a Probable Maximum Flood (PMF) event and also from a seismic event.

The paper describes the analysis; site investigation; subsequent design; and on-site construction works to implement a dam anchoring scheme which meets the requirements of the Qualified Civil Engineer.
