Phase 1 of the installation process.
The First step in the installation is to line out the tubes along the shoreline as required. Wooden stakes are driven into the ground behind the stitching to hold the tube firmly in place. After the installation has been completed the stakes are removed.
•
The tubes are hydraulically filled with a sand/water mix that’s either dredged from the adjacent lake or, if that's not possible, imported sand/fill material can be used.
By be able to dredge we will also clear organic material and silt that has built up over time. This will aid in maintaining a healthy, clean body of water and in the case of an irrigation pond restore capacity.
