Desilting a lake using our specially modified excavator, pumps were used to dewater the lake into a lower lake, the water was pumped through desiltation bags. The silt was moved mechanically into a area in the wood and placed behind a geo-textile lagoon.

 

 

 

 Gabion baskets used to stabilise a slope beside a stream, the use of live willowpoles further stabilised the slope and allowed a lower gabion basket site and thefore reducing the cost of the project.
