Green Lane Aqueduct Update

The dams are still in place on the Lower Peak Forest Canal at Green Lane Aqueduct in Romiley as work to fix a long standing leak takes place .


The section of canal dammed off is quite short and includes about 40ft of canal as well at the aqueduct.

The leak has been found and the bank behind the waterwall has been excavated to reveal the void created by the leak. a liquid slurry of sand and cement is being pumped up and allowed to flow into the void.

This is the machine making the slurry and pumping it up to the canal level from the road under the aqueduct

Work continues. I will report progress next week.
