The biggest ever programme of dredging at Gloucester’s historic docks kicked off last November. At the beginning a Bell dredging pump was used to suction-dredge the sand and sediment from the River Severn.
Later, the technique was changed due to the migrating fish and now the contractor is dredging the area with a long reach excavator.
In total, the Trust will remove approx. 15,000 cubic metres of silt from the docks, restoring the water depth to the targeted 3.5m.
