Civil and Structural Engineering Consultancy AND Project Supervisor Design Process (PSDP) Consultancy Services for Galway Sluice Barrage (Salmon Weir) Structural Assessment

Description

The Galway Sluice Barrage (also known as the Weir) located on Earls Island in Galway City controls the flow of water from Lough Corrib to Galway bay. The Barrage was constructed in 1959 as part of the Arterial Works on the Corrib System. The Sluice Barrage is made up of 14 modern hydraulic gates and 2 older wooden pen stock type gates with a fish pass in the centre of the weir. The weir structure and all weir components are to be surveyed, inspected and tested. A comprehensive report detailing the condition of the weir and all weir components is required along with recommendations, options and proposals for any repair work deemed necessary.
