Following an inspection, a deficiency was found in the available dam freeboard on this reservoir. A solution was agreed for a new weir slab over the dam crest with tied and anchored revetment blocks on the 1:2 dam face giving an additional discharge capacity of 13 cubic metres per sec in flood conditions. To prevent movement and uplift, in the event of water overspill from the reservoir, anchors were installed on a pre-measured grid pattern using simple hand-held tools and secured into the blocks with a profiled load plate and recessed wedge grip. #platipus #platipusanchors #reservoir #reservoirengineering #erosioncontrol #erosion #percussiondrivenearthanchors #PDEA #earthanchors #groundanchors #civilengineering #geotechnicalengineering
