HydroCo is proud to collaborate with the renowned Goodwood Estate in West Sussex, contributing to the enhancement of their private water supply system. Situated amidst the picturesque landscape, Goodwood offers an array of recreational activities such as Horse Racing, Golf, Motorsport, flying, shooting, and wellness experiences to the public.
The estate’s water supply system is a pivotal piece of infrastructure , drawing water from various boreholes and supported by numerous water storage tanks. The extensive distribution network, some of which dates back to the Victorian era, required investment in order to service the modern needs of the estate. We are thrilled to be part of the journey to modernise and optimise this vital system for the Goodwood Estate.

At HydroCo, our dedicated engineers are actively supporting Goodwood in ensuring a reliable water supply for all their stakeholders. We are involved in the design and implementation of new trunk mains, pumping stations, and advanced control systems. Additionally, our team conducts thorough surveys of the assets during construction to facilitate the development of a comprehensive Geographical Information System (GIS).
The primary goals of this collaborative project revolve around mains design with a strong emphasis on enhancing system resilience. Simultaneously, our pumping station designs are strategically crafted to boost energy efficiency and minimize transients. We are committed to delivering solutions that not only meet the immediate needs of Goodwood but also contribute to the long-term sustainability and effectiveness of their water supply infrastructure.
