Contract Details

• The basic aim of this project was to replace an existing 1800 mm Ø stone culvert carrying the River Llynfi with approx. 1500m of concrete/stone lined channel.
• The project was extremely sensitive in view of the potential of the existing coal/shale embankments to contaminate the river and the area was monitored on a daily basis by the Environment Agency.
• A blockstone lined stilling pond was constructed at the outfall of the new channel.
• Other aspects of the project included:
• erecting 5000 lin m of fencing,
• a 50,000 m³ cut/fill exercise to reprofile the land around the channel,
• installing 5000 lin m of footpath,
• cultivating, seeding and tree planting.
