The Sheffield & Tinsley Canal forms the upper four miles of the Sheffield & South Yorkshire Navigation which was opened in 1819 to carry boats between the navigable River Don and a new basin in the centre of Sheffield. The Canal & River Trust works at the Sheffield Meadowhall canal required remedial vacuum excavation works to the walls to river and canal banking as it had collapsed.
Trial holes and service trenches required in order to map existing services along the canal.
Difficult access, requiring the use of barges to reach the other side of canal banking.
T-Vac Midi Tracked vacuum excavation unit loaded onto barges to access all along canal.
All excavation work completed to programme of works with minimal disruption to canal traffic with ZERO strikes. There were no reported incidents in respect of service strikes.
