CASE STUDY: Replacement Eel Pass Boards
Following annual eel pass maintenance works for their customer, Sea-Lift Diving Ltd identified defective vertical brush boards within two existing eel passes, along with a pumped eel pass requiring new brush sections. The deterioration of the existing brush components meant the structures were no longer performing to the required efficiency or compliance standards for eel passage.
The Solution
Cottam Brush provided a prompt and responsive service, manufacturing and supplying replacement brush components precisely to the dimensions supplied by Sea-Lift Diving Limited.
Our focus was on:
- Accurate replication of the specified sizes
- High manufacturing quality to ensure durability
- Efficient turnaround to minimise disruption
- Ensuring suitability for eel pass compliance requirements
The Results
The installation of the new brush sections delivered a high quality finished project with immediate performance improvements.
Key outcomes included:
- Improved operational efficiency within the eel pass system
- Restored compliance with eel pass regulatory requirements
- Durable, well-fitted components designed for long-term performance
The precision fit replacement brushes enabled Safe-Lift Diving Limited to process a smooth eel passage while enhancing the overall reliability of the structure.
Conclusion
By supplying accurately manufactured, high-quality replacement brush components, Cottam Brush successfully supported Sea-Lift Diving Ltd in restoring and improving two pumped eel passes, with positive feedback from their end client.
The project demonstrated the importance of responsive service, precision engineering, and product durability in environmental infrastructure applications. The result was a compliant, efficient, and professionally delivered solution that met both contractor and end-client expectations.
