Fish Pass - EA design

The EA required the installation of a fish pass to their design, as a  condition of planning approval

---

Challenging build

Building the pass in soft mud with 70 tonnes of concrete was a specialist job

---

Ready for visitors

The finished article - ready for visitors ( We would like to install a counter to measure the usage of the new pass and stream)

---

Upgraded stream

Around 10% of the river's flow is directed down the fish pass and into an old ditch to provide a link between upstream and downstream

---

Gravel Pools

A series of 10 gravel pools have been installed to step down the levels to the mill pond, providing areas of gravel as potential spawning areas  - (a key test of the design will be their ability to avoid silting up)
