A resin injection cut off wall, the largest undertaken in the UK to date, was then installed running the full width of the dam. This was followed by the construction of a new reinforced concrete apron slab, including weir upstand containing 375m3 of concrete in total. Repairs to the upper section of the apron could then take place. Once the concrete walls were complete they were faced with a natural stone cladding approved by the client.
Backfilling to the rear of the wing walls and replacement of the ‘Armourloc® was then undertaken with repairs to the existing wave wall using previously won site material (cleaned and prepared) before removal of temporary works and reinstatement of the grounds including footpaths, landscaping and demobilisation. This project was completed during the COVID-19 pandemic requiring safety measures to be in place.
