River Dargle Flood Defence Scheme.
These images were taken during the third week of September 2012, tracking the on-going river bank alterations and excavation of the river bed.
In preparation for the river-bank strengthening/protection along this stretch of the river, a 2nd channel was created -- with the intention of diverting the river.
Having endured a similar flooding only days earlier, another heavy fall of rain caused the channels to fill up again.
It meant starting all over again - draining this road/bank side channel, cutting a release channel near the bridge to release the volume, and activating pumps to assist with the repeated drainage.
Matters were never helped by the overflow pipe which siphoned run-off from the adjacent motorway!
Always quite amazing to see how water levels could drain away within a few days.
The question would always be -- how much work could be completed before the (inevitable) next run of water?
The following sequences show how the guys reinforced the river bed/bank: spreading out, and stitching in a membrane, layout out wire creels, filled with medium sized stones, welded shut, and laid out in grids, particularly the sections alongside the road/bank side.
Gabions consist of steel ‘baskets’ filled with rock pieces.
They are filled and then fixed together to provide protection and strength to the existing river bank.
They allow ground water to flow through them which helps prevent waterlogging of the bank behind them.
Existing examples of these can be seen (here) on the North bank to the rear of the La Vallee Apartments.
Long shallow versions of gabions, known as ‘mattresses’, are used to protect the edges of the river channel, particularly at bends in the river.

Alpinist Unit Winter of 2012
Every year during the winter season, the combat soldiers of the Alpine Unit are dispatched to Mount Hermon, after having been trained to operate under extreme weather conditions. January 22, 2012.
The Alpine Unit is comprised of reserve soldiers that served in elite units during their regular service and who take part in intensive training days in Judea and Samaria and the northern border, particularly Mt. Hermon.
The unit carries out regional defense tactics, shooting while skiing at high speeds, snowmobiling, and riding Sno-Cats.
All of the reservists who serve in the Alpine unit are volunteers. The unit is highly selective and challenging to join.
The album features pictures of the reservists running drills in Mt. Hermon. The pictures include soldiers practicing skiing, climbing, shooting, tracking, and rehearsing rescue drills in conditions of heavy snow.
