In October last year we removed a concrete weir on the Davington Burn, a tributary of the Border Esk. Having won the contract, we worked with Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) to remove the weir and restore the burn to its natural state, reconnecting salmon, trout and eels to their native range.
We used demolition grout in a new to Scotland approach (to the best of our knowledge!) to remove the weir. We have produced a short video detailing the work that went into this removal and show the impact the weir was having on the watercourse.
The timescale for delivering this work was very tight however, the project went very smoothly and we've learnt a lot from this work. We have plans for quite a few barriers in Ayrshire where we can use this experience on the Davington Burn to deliver similar removals to across Ayrshire - so watch this space!
We're grateful to the British Geological Survey and the other private landowner for their help in delivering this project.
