Fish Passage Solutions
Routing vehicular traffic over streams and rivers presents a unique problem to engineers. Beneath the span, they need to create an environment that is as close as possible to nature to ease the passage of fish. The design must overcome the problems of velocity of the water, insufficient depth and smoothness of the streambed. By using CSP, the streambed can be left intact with natural rock and gravel. Adding baffles can further improve the habitat and its friendliness to fish. CSP’s advantages in these applications include providing the strength of steel, speed of installation, minimal disturbance and maintenance requirements, the durability of coatings and the low cost achieved by these qualities.
