Alfred Moore (engineer)

The Loch Katrine end was officially opened by Queen Victoria in October 1859,[4] however Moore continued to work on Mugdock Reservoir until 1865.

The waterworks were extended by adding Craigmaddie Reservoir, however this work was completed solely under the attention of Gale.

Describing the entire waterworks, Gale commented that they were as worthy to "bear comparison with the most extensive aqueducts in the world, not excluding those of ancient Rome".

The Buenos Aires waterworks were predominantly designed by John Coghlan, however Moore was resident engineer managing much of the construction.

He then went on to work under George Henry Hill[11] designing plans for the Thirlmere scheme for the supply of water to Manchester.
