Starting at the <strong>sluice channel,<\/strong> I am pleased to confirm that the <strong>new bridge has been installed<\/strong>. Last Friday CTS Bridges delivered the bridge in two sections of Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP), yesterday this was then carefully moved along the path to the channel. The two sections are bolted together and sat on a rubber bearing and the new concrete beams. Currently the bridge is actually quite under-whelming to look at as it is a simple deck; the railings will be installed this week and then the brick and stone piers can be re-built to full height. This will then give it a true setting and will provide a much clearer view of the channel either side, the workings of the the sluice gate and under the railway embankment. The bridge contract with Avon Construction should complete by the end of the month, the re-opening of the path will depend upon the works in the lagoon.<\/p>\n<p><em>Photos, L-R: First section being lifted in to place, view from the sluice gate gantry of both sections; the leading edge of the deck sat on the concrete beam, this will be filled with concrete to provide a smooth join.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-205857\" src=\"https:\/\/pooleprojects.net\/pooleparklife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/DSC02887-web-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pooleprojects.net\/pooleparklife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/DSC02887-web-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/pooleprojects.net\/pooleparklife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/DSC02887-web.jpg 640w, https:\/\/pooleprojects.net\/pooleparklife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/DSC02887-web-610x458.jpg 610w, https:\/\/pooleprojects.net\/pooleparklife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/DSC02887-web-510x382.jpg 510w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-205859\" src=\"https:\/\/pooleprojects.net\/pooleparklife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/DSC02938-web-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pooleprojects.net\/pooleparklife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/DSC02938-web-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/pooleprojects.net\/pooleparklife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/DSC02938-web.jpg 640w, https:\/\/pooleprojects.net\/pooleparklife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/DSC02938-web-610x458.jpg 610w, https:\/\/pooleprojects.net\/pooleparklife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/DSC02938-web-510x382.jpg 510w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-205858\" src=\"https:\/\/pooleprojects.net\/pooleparklife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/DSC02937-web-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pooleprojects.net\/pooleparklife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/DSC02937-web-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/pooleprojects.net\/pooleparklife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/DSC02937-web.jpg 640w, https:\/\/pooleprojects.net\/pooleparklife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/DSC02937-web-610x458.jpg 610w, https:\/\/pooleprojects.net\/pooleparklife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/DSC02937-web-510x382.jpg 510w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>And the <strong>lagoon<\/strong> is also progressing well, despite the recent heavy winds and high rainfall (especially today!). Some of the plans for where<strong> islands<\/strong> are to be located and where sediment is to be dredged from have been altered to maximise the volumes of sediment that can practically be moved. The main features you can now see being created are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Two islands in the North east of the lagoon (nearest The Ark), these are slightly closer to the lagoon edge than originally planned because of such soft sediments further out. The islands are edged in two lines of material to hold the sediment at different levels, the inner area will be partly planted and partly covered in gravel to try and attract a wide variety of birds.<\/li>\n<li>The existing islands have been edged in &#8216;Nicospan&#8217; to make them strong and they are being filled with sediment. The largest island &#8216;Brownsea&#8217; will be left with low areas within it to act as a mini-wetland.<\/li>\n<li>On the southern side of the lagoon there are two old areas of reeds that have been improved and sediment built up.<\/li>\n<li>Instead of a single large promontory, there will now be two smaller features, again constructed this way owing to the exceptionally soft ground (when testing the ground a 3m long post almost completely disappeared when pushed in!). The two features will both have a bird screen on top looking towards a single large island. The deck and screen are being made from recycled plastic and should be robust and long lasting.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>Photos L-R: In the North east corner of the lagoon, tall sections of plastic log pile holding back a fill of sediment, fronted by plastic &#8216;Z-piles&#8217; to provide a marginal area to the island; new promontory has been created in stone boulders, with joiners constructing the walkway and raised deck area; detail of the &#8216;weathered oak&#8217; finish of the recycled deck boards.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-205861\" src=\"https:\/\/pooleprojects.net\/pooleparklife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/DSC02903-web-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pooleprojects.net\/pooleparklife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/DSC02903-web-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/pooleprojects.net\/pooleparklife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/DSC02903-web.jpg 640w, https:\/\/pooleprojects.net\/pooleparklife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/DSC02903-web-610x458.jpg 610w, https:\/\/pooleprojects.net\/pooleparklife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/DSC02903-web-510x382.jpg 510w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>\u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-205860\" src=\"https:\/\/pooleprojects.net\/pooleparklife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/DSC02879-web-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pooleprojects.net\/pooleparklife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/DSC02879-web-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/pooleprojects.net\/pooleparklife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/DSC02879-web.jpg 640w, https:\/\/pooleprojects.net\/pooleparklife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/DSC02879-web-610x458.jpg 610w, https:\/\/pooleprojects.net\/pooleparklife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/DSC02879-web-510x382.jpg 510w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-205862\" src=\"https:\/\/pooleprojects.net\/pooleparklife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/DSC02882-web-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pooleprojects.net\/pooleparklife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/DSC02882-web-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/pooleprojects.net\/pooleparklife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/DSC02882-web.jpg 640w, https:\/\/pooleprojects.net\/pooleparklife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/DSC02882-web-610x458.jpg 610w, https:\/\/pooleprojects.net\/pooleparklife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/DSC02882-web-510x382.jpg 510w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>And work is progressing well around the freshwater lakes too.

This provides a stable edge which the new surfacing can be laid upon, with Purbeck stone copings to be laid to the edge. The new planting beds are nearly constructed, using the existing large blocks of stone as edging and soil reclaimed from the rose garden used to bring the beds up to the right level. Fresh top soil will be imported to 'blind-over' and provide a really good planting medium. Planting will take place from late March\/early April, with plenty of volunteering opportunities to help with the planting.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-205819\" src=\"https:\/\/pooleprojects.net\/pooleparklife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/20190228_143436-web-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" \/>\r\n\r\nIn the <strong>lagoon<\/strong> work continues to move the sediment to new locations which now include the formation of new islands in the north-east corner, near to middle gate car park. This area of the lagoon will act as a wildlife zone, where we limit the use by the water sports, with a range of island features that hopefully attract different birds. The islands are constructed in two outer layers to hold the sediment, the first is a grey plastic Z-shaped pile that is driven in to the mud and will be below the water line, the second line is a plastic wood-effect pile that is supported on long timber stakes. Being above the water line it needed to look nicer and in time marginal plants should establish between them to provide a natural edge.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-205821\" src=\"https:\/\/pooleprojects.net\/pooleparklife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/180302-2-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/>\r\n\r\nBeing close to The Ark and car parks where people traditionally feed the birds, the islands will become a key point in engaging people with nature, understanding the interesting and specialist creatures that live in the mud and to provide advice on what to feed birds and what you might see at different times of year. The lagoon being drained continues to attract large numbers of interesting bird species, and you can read more on these and welfare of the swans in the drained lagoon <a href=\"https:\/\/www.birdsofpooleharbour.co.uk\/poole-park-lagoon-workings#overlay-context=poole-park-lagoon-workings\">here<\/a>\u00a0on an article by the Birds of Poole Harbour website, which along with their social media pages is a great way to keep up to date (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/BirdsOfPooleHarbour\/\">Facebook<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/harbourbirds\">Twitter.<\/a>).\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-205815\" src=\"https:\/\/pooleprojects.net\/pooleparklife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/birds-Poole-harbour-2-300x99.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"99\" \/>\u00a0 \u00a0<img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-205816\" src=\"https:\/\/pooleprojects.net\/pooleparklife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/birds-Poole-harbour-3-300x172.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"172\" \/>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-205817\" src=\"https:\/\/pooleprojects.net\/pooleparklife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Birds-Poole-harbour-300x242.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"242\" \/>\r\n\r\nOn the far side of the lagoon near to the railway line the plans have changed slightly owing to the extremely soft sediments in this area. The intention was to mirror the wildlife zone in the north-east corner, with 2 new islands, a floating island and a large promontory that has a bird screen. However, we will now be constructing two smaller promontories, both with bird screens on, and a single, larger island just off-shore. This is a practical solution to the challenges the lagoon is creating for construction, but will still deliver the key benefits of bringing people closer to nature and providing a greater variety of habitats.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-205820\" src=\"https:\/\/pooleprojects.net\/pooleparklife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/180302-4-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/>\r\n\r\n<strong>What is happening this week?<\/strong>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li><strong>The new bridge over the sluice channel<\/strong> will be delivered late in the week! The bridge will be delivered in two sections, carefully swung in to place on the new concrete beams and bolted together and in to place. Work will then take another couple of weeks to install parapet railings on the bridge, on the banks either side and new surfacing on the approaches.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Landscaping around the freshwater lakes continues, with the new beds finalised, removal of existing planting next to Whitecliff road and preparing to install the coping stones on the lake edge.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>In the lagoon, the new islands will be set out and constructed, as will the promontories on the southern edge.
