Explore JN Bentley's commitment to renewables. Driving innovation in sustainable energy solutions for a greener future Linton Falls Hydro We constructed a 120kW twin hydro turbine, on a small weir at Linton Falls on the River Wharf within the Yorkshire Dales National Park, bringing the asset back to life for the first time since 1948. Low Wood Hydro We installed two new Archimedean screw turbines as part of the refurbishment of the hydroelectric plant at the historic Low Wood Gunpowder Works within the scenic Lake District National Park. Tees Barrage We redeveloped this white water course to create a world-class training facility used in the 2012 Olympic Games. The project, at the time, was the only installation where Archimedean screws were used as both pumps and generators. Back Next About us Introducing JN Bentley Vision and values Publications JN Bentley constructed a 120kW hydro turbine, on land owned by the business on a small weir at Linton Falls on the River Wharf, near Grassington in the Yorkshire Dales National Park. The original Linton Falls plant was built in 1909 bringing the first electricity to the village of Grassington, but was left out of commission since 1948, and has been protected as a Scheduled Monument. The construction project reinstated a hydro-electricity facility, incorporating two Archimedean screw turbines, to once again supply the Grassington area by feeding locally into the Grid.

Linton Falls Hydro The project, located at the historical Low Wood Gunpowder Works within the scenic Lake District National Park, comprised of the refurbishment of the hydroelectricity plant. The works, which were on an English Heritage Scheduled Monument status site, required new intake sluice gates, the construction of an access bridge, the demolition of the existing power house and construction of a new power house, installation of rock armour and gabions to the tailrace and all preparatory work to allow the installation of the two new Archimedean screw turbines and associated equipment by Spaans Babcock.

Low Wood Hydro The course is located on the River Tees adjacent to the Tees Barrage. The project comprised a redevelopment of the course to create a world-class white water facility. The project at the time was the only installation in the world where Archimedean screws were used as both pumps and generators. The screws were particularly large, delivering a maximum flow rate of 14m3/s. Further elements included the design and construction of the new RC pumping station, construction of associated penstocks, stop logs and a fish pass; raising of concrete channel walls; excavation and construction of a new, steeper ‘short course’.

Tees Barrage As part of an overall upgrade to the treatment works at Esholt, we designed and managed the installation of two hydrodynamic screws. The hydropower installation utilises the 10m head drop between the inlet works and the new primary tanks, with the power generated assisting in meeting the base load of the new activated sludge secondary treatment plant. We were responsible for construction of the inlet chamber, and plinths for the 2.6m diameter screws and oversaw the subcontracted hydropower and electrical works.

Esholt WwTW Working collaboratively with the client, we delivered a hydroelectric generation facility within Eccup Water Treatment Works (WTW), situated near Leeds, West Yorkshire. We also worked in partnership with suppliers to develop, install and commission a horizontally mounted Francis turbine with asynchronous generator in a new ‘hydro-turbine building’, upstream of Eccup WTW inlet works. The installation is fully integrated with the previously existing operation of the inlet works for ease of operation, to enable generation of up to 700MWh of electricity per annum.

Eccup Hydro At Grmwith, water is released to river from the reservoir for abstraction downstream. Energy was being lost and offered an opportunity for energy recovery/generation from a turbine. The project comprised of the installation of a 250kW Francis Turbine within an existing chamber at Grimwith Reservoir, recovering energy from the water before it is discharged. The scope of work included the supply and installation of the turbine; modifications to the existing chamber; new 800mm diameter flowmeter to measure and record turbine flows; modification to pipework and valves; electrical installation and SCADA modifications.

JN Bentley excels in industrial building solutions. Discover our expertise in constructing efficient and cutting-edge industrial facilities Procter and Gamble We have a long-standing relationship with ‘blue chip’ client Procter & Gamble. Projects include this 300m-long elevated enclosure erected 5m off the ground, which transports pallets of goods across the site. Walkers Snack Foods We designed and then constructed two new portal frame buildings for Walkers Snack Foods within an existing food production environment ensuring the most stringent levels of cleanliness. BASF Performance Products Our first scheme for BASF Performance Products was in 2015 at their production facility in West Yorkshire, with subsequent works following its completion. Back Next About us Introducing JN Bentley Vision and values Publications JN Bentley has a long history of working with Rolls-Royce, and have recently been appointed to a new framework. The works pictured at a scheme in Derby consisted of two phases. Phase 1 incorporated the construction of a new ‘dispatch gantry’ extension with heavy duty concrete floor slabs and new overhead gantry cranes, as well as the upgrade and modification of an existing access road. Phase 2 consisted of the re-cladding of the existing production test facility building, general civils works to the structure of the production facility, and the installation of a monorail hoist system, plus significant mechanical and electrical installations.

In addition to this, a new ‘Multipack’ facility was constructed for the packing and distribution of the end product. As these works were carried out within a ‘food production environment’, extremely high standards of cleanliness were required throughout the construction process and the final design incorporated hygienic inner wall surfaces and hygienic specification doors.
