River Blackwater (Langford)

April/May 2024 Progress Update (Fish & Eel Pass Concreting)

Following the portadam issues in February the site was temporarily stood down awaiting more favourable conditions in which to attempt the final concrete pour. The project team reviewed weather reports and flow data on a weekly basis searching for a reducing trend that would indicate an opportunity to return to site.

Remobilisation commenced towards the end of April, the portadam was reset and the working area drained down and preparations were made for the major concrete pour, cleaning down the structure and reinstalling the shuttering.

The concreting was successfully completed last week so the main structure is finally taking shape!
