Linton Falls

 
Renewable Energy Scheme:  Linton Falls
Client:   JN Bentley's own scheme

We're preparing to begin works on a hydro-turbine project of our own in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales.  This unique hydropower project generated a lot of media attention when plans were first announced.

Having firmly established ourselves in water, waste and industrial building markets, we're looking to increase our presence in the renewable energy sector.

We already undertake a variety of jobs that concern the environment, such as minewater remediation schemes, water and wastewater treatment, pollution prevention and the construction of waste recycling facilities.

In recent years we have been building on this expertise by developing our knowledge of hydro-electric and combined heat and power solutions.

We're now looking forward to starting and completing a project at a site of our own near Grassington in North Yorkshire.  The project involves the restoration of a 100-year old turbine house (now a Scheduled Monument) on a weir at Linton Falls.

We will install two Archimedean Screws to generate 510MWh of energy, which will be supplied back to the National Grid.

The below pictures show what the site looked like 100 years ago, what it looks like today, and an artist's impression of what the site will look like once complete.
