The concrete slab on which the Power House will be built will span the walls that can be seen in this picture.
The Screw trench has been extended to the edge of the river. Bed rock has been reached and so further excavation is going to be a noisy process!
On target for delivery of screw by mid September and commencement of electricity generation by end October.
The team have been giving some time to think about how we can maximise the educational and visitor attraction value of the scheme once we are operational. A number of initiatives are being investigated and costed and a funding application being prepared
We hope to install a number of webcams that will enable us to show the operation of the screw on our website. The webcams will also provide us with a remote monitoring facility that will enable us to readily check that every thing is operating as it should.
We are planning to install equipment that will enable us to display the amount of electricity being generated at that point in time and the total number of kWh generated to date.
An Information Board and leaflets will be designed and produced to explain how the scheme works and to highlight other aspects of the site such as the old mill and waterwheel and the fish pass.
