Cilcain Project - Invicta's Solution for remote Welsh reservoir Cilcain is a small, pretty village in North Wales close to Mold and about 16 miles North West of Wrexham. It sits at the foot of Moel Famau, the highest peak in Flintshire. Above Cilcain are a number of small reservoirs. No longer an active part of the potable water supply in the region, the reservoirs are primarily used for fly fishing. The valves used to control the level of water in one of the reservoirs needed replacing. Invicta was asked to design and install a solution by William Hughes, the civils contractor on the project. The principal problem faced by Dan Brown, the Invicta engineer tasked with solving the challenge, was that the plinth on which the valves were to sit was over 40 metres away from the control chamber
