The northern section was approximately 36m long, single stacked for 25cm, double stacked for 5m and triple stacked for a further 6m. The southern section was approximately 6m long and triple stacked along its extent.

The works completed were in accordance with the Environment Agency’s Pollution Prevention Guidelines (PPG5) and (PPG6).

Biodegradable oil was used.

– Any working adjacent to water required adequate life preservation vests to be available.

– Sensitive water body, avoid working in fish migration season, works planned so as to minimise impact on wildlife.
