Project summary
The project involves installation of a series of Floating Ecosystem active edges made up of various sizes, based along the riverside. The systems are connected to the riverside to the riverside using a heavy duty weighted mooring line with a break strength exceeding 5,000 KG. The mooring line is fixed at the top using a 12mm mechanical expansion bolt and the bottom anchor is connected to an anchor weight. The anchor line is threaded directly through the floating structure and stainless steel bracketing system. This configuration allows the floating ecosystem to move smoothly up and down during changing water levels, while floating up during flood events and lowering down during low water conditions allowing vertical movement, whilst minimising any horizontal movement.
