Another successful FlexiBaffle installation. We worked with the City of Surrey, B.C. and students with the Salmon Habitat Restoration Program (SHaRP) to implement the largest culvert rehabilitation project in North America. A large concrete flume on the Bon Accord Creek, a tributary of the lower Fraser River, has blocked salmon from accessing important salmon spawning habitat for many decades. We worked with City staff to develop a FlexiBaffle installation plan to increase water depth and slow water velocity to create conditions much more conducive to salmon passage.
Below are two strores from local media on the project.
