Eel & Elver Passes
With a reputation as one of the countries leading suppliers of flood control and water level management equipment ACE have now combined their expertise with the provision of elver, eel and fish passage systems to to work along side our well established products.
Elver Passes
With the new Water Framework Directive and EU Eel Regulation
in place, the fight is on to reverse the decline in eel and elver numbers. ACE offer
a comprehensive service package for both new projects & addition of
systems around existing structures.
ACE has a range of modular eel and elver pass systems available on the market. The elver pass comes in a range of materials, Aluminium, Stainless steel, HDPE, Recycled LDPE and Galvanised steel.
To further aid the passage of elvers and eels through the bypass system, ACE can provide a pump system to provide a constant flow of water inside the channel. The water is
distributed over the elver brush at the highest point of the system. Water can then flow
down both sides of the system, water flowing downstream acts as an attraction to eels and elvers, water flowing upstream flushes the eels and elvers into the upstream watercourse.
Elver Brush
All of our modular elver pass systems come with brush pre-installed. However the density
and layout of the brush can be specified at the time of ordering. ACE standard densities are 20mm x 20mm and 30mm x 30mm. The ACE modular system has duel density as standard. Elver brush is also available in standard and bespoke sizes without the modular system.
Additional Eel and Elver Pass Media
ACE can also offer IP68 rated infra-red camera units and DVR recording hardware,
to aid in monitoring the elver pass. Solar packages are also available.
With many years experience of working with the Environment Agency and as a framework contractor to them also, we guarantee the best possible solutions for each and every specific enquiry.
