Return to Fleet Pond
The next phase of lake restoration work has commenced at Fleet Pond. This will continue the dredging from the earlier phase this year and construct more lake islands to improve the water quality and enhance the habitat for wildlife and ecology. Using our specialist long reach machines on floating pontoons, the island construction is well underway and due for completion in November.
Award Winners
We have had an amazing start to the summer with winning the Ground Engineering (GE) Award on 4 May. We then were Highly Commended at the annual Institution Of Civil Engineers (ICE) awards. View our 'Awards' section to see details of our Award winning projects.
Mobilisation of Fleet Pond
Mobilisation of the floating plant and equipment to Fleet Pond was carried out in February 2012 using a large crane lift from the Station car park due to the access restrictions. Modular pontoons were assembled that would carry the long reach excavators for the dredging and lake island construction works. A large audience had gathered as this marked a significant milestone for the Pond, in particular the hard work of the Fleet Pond Society, so the success of this day was really welcome.
