River Dargle Flood Scheme, Bray, Co. Wicklow: P1210142_b

River Dargle Flood Defence Scheme.
These images were taken during the first week of August, 2016.

Adjacent to The People’s Park, a large compound is the site of continuing work along this section of the river. Some of the works are nearing completion.

Work here along the riverbank, between Glenwood and The Maltings, involves stabilisation measures (digging out a channel, and dropping in large boulders) intended to reinforce this newly constructed/shaped length of bank.

Access is quite restricted here, and involves shipping material in/out via the entrance further upriver, adjacent to The Slang.
A temporary soil shelf has been laid along this wall-side, to allow better access for vehicles moving materials in and out.
