Reading Hydro is currently in the process of building its twin hydroelectric turbines by Caversham Weir, in Reading, UK – we’re expecting to be commissioning them in 2021. You can find out more about where they are and how they work elsewhere on our website.
The screws will be housed within a building which will also host other equipment to operate the turbines. As a crucial part of the design, we want to make the turbine house a visually interesting focus of our project.
