Matchams Riverbank Stabilisation

For Bournemouth Water

The raw water intake at Matchams is located on a fast flowing bend on the River Avon. The building was constructed C.1955 and provides a reliable source of raw water to the WTW in Bournemouth. Water depths are typically 3-5m with a high river flow rate, circa 3 knots, even when not in spate. Delivery requirements were to stabilise the existing riverbank and arresting the damaging scour whilst providing the least amount of environmental impact.
