Eastern Bank Of The River Dane Adjacent,
The works will cover: a new intake structure on the south bank of the River Dane roughly 12m upstream of the weir crest, 3.7m wide and protected by a coarse screen of 150mm aperture and penstock gate. 11m of 1500mm dia. buried low pressure pipeline conducting the flow from the intake to the turbine. An underground measurement chamber containing acoustic flow measurement equipment which will accurately record the flow passing through the pipeline. An Archimedes Screw turbine set onto concrete foundations within a 3.3m-wide concrete channel. A control building above the turbine 4m x 5.5m in plan enclosing the gearbox, generator and control equipment. A short tailrace channel delivering the flow back into the downstream weirpool. Removal of accumulated silt and gravel close to the turbine outfall to allow the discharge to merge smoothly back into the weirpool.
