Once the canal boat had been removed, the haul road needed to extend through the 60m of breached canal. This required large sections of concrete and other debris to be removed and the surrounding slopes made safe. The haul road was extended a further 60m to allow the construction of a permanent dam and the temporary fabric dam removed. A tracked dumper was required to reach the bottom of the breach where the repair works would being. Upon clearance of the river bank an excavation began at the toe of the embankment to find suitable ground to begin rebuilding. The rebuild was completed by laying and compacting layers of stone 150mm at a time, for a total of 14 metres to match the intact embankment profile either side of the breach. 220 metres of reinforced concrete wash-walls were built through the site and a waterproof geotextile membrane fitted throughout the confines of the wall to seal the canal bed. The membrane was lined with a 100mm thick fibre reinforced concrete layer to provide protection.
