15:04, 24 November 2014 Multiple bough deflector.jpg (file) 74 KB The deflectors were set at different heights in the water so that they would operate under a range of flow conditions. 1
15:01, 24 November 2014 Step4.jpg (file) 115 KB The final step is to cover the debris with soil and then repair the bank to its former condition. 1
14:58, 24 November 2014 Step3.jpg (file) 123 KB Step three in the deflector installation is to stake and brace the large woody-debris. By linking all the elements together and using screws to fasten the material, the likelihood of structure failure is minimised. 1
14:55, 24 November 2014 Step2.jpg (file) 121 KB The second step in the deflector installation is to lower the large woody-debris into the trench. 1
14:54, 24 November 2014 Step1.jpg (file) 117 KB The first step in the deflector installation was to dig out a trench in the bank. 1
14:39, 24 November 2014 Brushwood.JPG (file) 6.47 MB Brushwood mattresses were built largely by hand and create and excellent refuge for various species, particularly small fish. 1
14:36, 24 November 2014 Long reach berm.JPG (file) 4.59 MB A long-reach excavator was the perfect tool for the job of working around a fence line. The weight of the machine did cause some minor tracking issues but ensured the required stability when working so close to the river bank. 1
14:32, 24 November 2014 Vole mitigation.JPG (file) 5.85 MB Prior to works the river banks were checked for water vole burrows. 1
14:29, 24 November 2014 Drilling.jpg (file) 78 KB Timber screws were used to connect the woody-debris to the vertical stakes. The screws are discrete but ensure the structure is solid. 1
14:26, 24 November 2014 Drill.JPG (file) 2.9 MB High-powered drills were necessary for us to screw some of the wooden features in place. 1
14:23, 24 November 2014 Berm feature bressingham.JPG (file) 2.89 MB Looking downstream at a berm feature that was installed on the true left-hand bank of the River Waveney. 1
13:46, 24 November 2014 Bressingham.JPG (file) 3.02 MB Alternating berms on the River Waveney through Bressingham. 1
13:26, 24 November 2014 Great green.JPG (file) 2.96 MB This great green bush cricket was found on-site. 1
13:25, 24 November 2014 Water vole search.JPG (file) 4.77 MB Mitigation work prior to the start of the project included searching for evidence of water vole burrows. 1
13:23, 24 November 2014 Overlooking berm.JPG (file) 3.5 MB Matt Holden from the Dedham Vale AONB overseeing the creation of one of our berms. 1
13:21, 24 November 2014 Berm feature.JPG (file) 4.59 MB A berm feature immediately after construction. This photograph is looking upstream from the true right-hand bank on the River Brett. 1
12:25, 24 November 2014 Berm scrape.JPG (file) 5.47 MB Berm feature incorporating a 'scrape' feature intended to be a refuge for fish fry or to enable the growth of water-loving macrophytes. 1
12:22, 24 November 2014 Elongated berm.JPG (file) 4.73 MB Looking downstream at an elongated berm feature on the River Brett near Layham. The reworked river bank can be seen on the right-hand side. 1
12:01, 24 November 2014 Gravel shoulders.JPG (file) 3.97 MB Gravel shoulders created using material excavated from a newly created pool. Note how the flow is visibly quicker where the channel is constricted by the gravel features. 1
11:35, 24 November 2014 Deflector comp.jpg (file) 441 KB Flow deflector combined with pool excavation to increased habitat diversity. Willow spillings and branches have been included to provide shelter for juvenile fish and invertebrates. 1
11:32, 24 November 2014 Soft berm.JPG (file) 5.68 MB A berm made of soft bed material and reed vegetation. This feature has narrowed the active channel and increased flow velocity locally. 1
11:29, 24 November 2014 Team photo.JPG (file) 4.24 MB Some of the Environment Agency staff involved with the implementation of the scheme. 1
11:27, 24 November 2014 Composite berm 2.JPG (file) 2.68 MB A second composite berm. In this instance the stakes that are inserted vertically into the river bed can be see. 1
11:25, 24 November 2014 Composite berm.JPG (file) 2.78 MB Composite berm consisting of a downstream flow deflector back-filled with spoil material taken from the originally over-steep embankment. The wooden toe adds stability and protection to the feature. 1
11:15, 24 November 2014 DS flow deflector.jpeg (file) 2.73 MB Downstream facing flow deflector with small spoil backfill on the true left-hand bank of the River Brett, upstream of Shelley Bridge. 1

This has comprimised the accurate functioning of the station, which provides valuable data, particularly at low 1
