Dorney Lake

During the 1990's Summerleaze was a lead partner in the construction of the Eton Rowing Lake at Dorney, involving the construction of the lake itself and associated buildings and infrastructure.

The creation of the international-standard lake generated over 4 million tonnes of aggregate over a 10 year period, much of which was transferred by conveyor across the Thames for processing at the Summerleaze plant at Bray. As a result, many lorry movements were removed from the narrow roads around Dorney. Meanwhile, the bridge which carried the conveyor over the river has doubled as a valuable new pedestrian and cycle link between the Berkshire and Buckinghamshire banks of the river.

The project is an excellent example of co-operation between industry, public bodies and a leading education establishment, which has achieved mutual benefits and created new leisure opportunities for the public.
