"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.
TOWPATHS
Over the past 20 years, Condor Projects Ltd has developed a range of techniques and equipment specifically designed to work on canal towpaths.The tight restrictions in size and weight required Condor Projects Ltd to construct drilling and piling rigs to operate below the weight limits to preserve the side of the canals while constructing grout curtains and cut off barriers.
These are required to stop the water tracking through the ground, causing washout of the paths and lock side, eventually leading to the collapse of the canal.
