"Condor Projects designed and constructed an innovative 'Limpet Dam' that was used to locally de-water a section of the lock to enable the installation of the ladders.
This 'Limpet Dam' was a fantastic example of Condor Projects attitude towards challenging the established working methods and delivering a well engineered solution. "Peter Dawson. Senior Project Manager. May Gurney.
LOCK REPAIRS
With a multi skilled workforce, Condor Projects Ltd has all the necessary skills in house for the complete maintenance and repair of canal locks.From pressure pointing and the replacement of brick to the reconstruction of the stone bank and approach walls to the drilling and grouting of the chambers, walls and floors, Condor Projects Ltd can offer the complete package.
Unique to Condor Projects Ltd, we have developed a system for the repositioning of stone blocks within the locks that have been pushed back by boats over the past 200 years of operation. Once pulled back out to the correct alignment, the voids and joints are re-grouted to ensure the block stays in the correct position.
Unique to Condor Projects Ltd, the portable coffer dam allows working in the lock without the costs and inconvience of emptying the canal or installing a portable dam, saving both time and money.
