THE STIFFMEISTER 16,089 Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 Just out of interest.. whats the process behind the natural way of gravel removal? Why not just get a 360 excavator in and dig it out? No criticism, just wondering why ? Is it too deep and uneven?, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MIK 4,763 Posted December 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 SEPA....every thing we do we have to apply to SEPA ....and it’s there decision what we can and can’t do we have done a considerable amount of work under license at a Great cost improving the pools and banks for both fish and fisherman and it will be an ongoing process for a few years . 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MIK 4,763 Posted December 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 It’s not as simple as as just deepening pools with a machine as they will just fill with gravel over time .....we put In strategically placed croys that cause a turbulence behind them thus moving the gravel and deepening downstream and catching gravel at the front of the croy that’s travels from upstream .....these have to be well made out of huge boulders some weighing 2-3 ton and placed at the right angle it’s not just put them in and hope for the best there is a science to it . next season we will be working on stabilising the banks with tree planting and big rocks 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
