PROJECT: Mountsberg Creek Restoration Project
CLIENT: City of Hamilton (Carlisle) / Conservation Halton / Trout Unlimited
DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT:
- Water’s Edge was engaged by Conservation Halton, on behalf of Trout Unlimited, to undertake the restoration design for Mountsberg Creek in Courtcliffe Park (City of Hamilton).
- Water’s Edge staff engineered detailed design plans to propose the historic Mountsberg channel be rehabilitated to accept permanent flows and to abandon the man-made channel.
- An investigation of existing and future channel area and capacity flows was done to confirm the original channel of Mountsberg Creek can handle full flows.
- The design improved habitat and flow conveyance, alleviate ponding and promoted natural fish passage.
- Water’s Edge provided design services for several hundred metres of stream restoration and three pedestrian bridge crossings with abutment designs (by Tacoma) over Mountsberg Creek.
