Sequencing of work critical.
Specialist concrete saw facilitated retaining a significant section of the existing weir.
This retained good reference and control points for accurate setting out.Future maintenance issues should be given due consideration in the design process.
Detailed pre-works survey and design drawings critical to efficient planning and project delivery.
Local recording of water levels allowed efficient project planning in the advent of high river flows (waterlevel.ie).
