Case Study:
Domestic Client - Liverpool

The Challenge:

Simply Aquatic were approached by a sailing club. The lake in questions is called the Pennington Flash which as a whole is approximately 170 acres! One of the inlets to the lake had become blocked with enormous amounts of reed growth which was creating flooding issues further up stream. 

 

​Our Solution:

After meeting on site with the committee members of the sailing club and also the local council we formed a plan to undertake the works using an amphibious excavator. The excavator dug a 2 meter + channel from the inlet to the start of the flash, creating a path for the water and also an increase in depths. 

​

The Results:

The end result in this project saw initial water depths drop 1m by the end of our short time there. The channel was cleared creating a meandering flow through for the water to escape.  From the before and after pictures below, you can see how low the water had dropped.
