Leven Bridge Bank Stabilisation and Scour Protection.


TMS were instructed to install a gabion wall alongside the bridge abutment to provide scour protection and bank stabilisation.  The bed was leveled with a long reach machine from the shore. TMS then laid a layer of stone ready to install gabion matresses.  TMS divers installed all of the lower baskets and mattresses.  Once the baskets were up out of the water the top line of baskets were finished off conventionally.  All of the baskets were hand filled and faced with stone.  Once the baskets were installed we back-filled with clean stone and type one material to the top, ready for top soil.
