Spot flow gauging and velocity testing
At the end of last year our Principal Hydrometry and Telemetry Consultant, Adam Nicholas, attended one of our active construction sites to perform spot flow gauging and a velocity test upstream of a syphon and a newly constructed fish pass completed by our FiveRivers team.
Here, Adam, can be seen performing the spot flow gauging using an Electromagnetic (EM) Flowmeter. These tests were to compare the flow with the measured velocities through the fish pass to understand the flow being compensated out the feeder channel at the syphon, as well as confirming that fish migration would be possible with the newly constructed fish pass. The Environment Agency confirmed that the velocities were within acceptable range.
