River Tywi Pipeline Protection Building with Nature Case Study Salix were awarded a design and build contract to prevent further erosion of a section of the riverbank and reinstate a scour hole threatening a high pressure gas pipeline on the River Tywi. The Tywi is designated a Special Area of Conservation (SAC) and SSSI and is one of Europe’s finest sea trout fisheries. Due to the sensitive nature of the site within an intertidal zone, it required a solution that would look as natural as possible whilst providing permanent long term erosionprotection.
