Originally specified as an in-situ flow control structure for the RSPB, Althon were able to design and manufacture a precast solution consisting of eight concrete ‘L’ walls which butted together with exposed reinforcement on the toe element so it could all be tied together with an in-situ apron.  The units were delivered, offloaded and put in place in a single day.
