Case Study
Emergency Works on a Pipeline in a Stream
Emergency Works on a Pipeline in a Stream Building with Nature Case Study Salix were brought in as specialist contractors to help deal with an exposed pipeline, in a river near Johnstown, Carmarthen. Two trees growing on the river bank had dramatically narrowed the river, impacting the flow and created a large scour pool directly over the pipeline. Salix went on site and did a full geomorphological and ecological survey of the site and recommended the site was dewatered whilst the pipeline was moved to a more stable channel crossing point.
