EEL TILES

Working closely with the Environment Agency, Berry & Escott designed & manufactured a unique solution to the worldwide problem of migrating large eels and very small elvers.

Advantages

The Eel Tile is a double density Stud/Boss substrate that has several advantages :

  • The tiles are manufactured from a high density co-polymer and therefore extremely robust.
  • Different colours can be accommodated (additional charge will apply).
  • Easy to fit. Only requires 4 stainless steel fixings (these can be provided).
  • Can be arranged in a grid format.
  • Economically priced solution.
  • Product is kept in stock to accommodate short lead times.

Where and how will I use them?

The applications for this format of pass will include most traditional in-river weirs and structures as well as some technical weirs and bespoke fish passes.

The tiles can be installed at sites where bristle passes are being considered and in exposed sites where sediment and boulder transport would cause bristle passes to be damaged.

The tiles measure 505mm x 505mm x 75mm and can be arrayed in individual ‘strips’ or as a one metre width. There is no limit to the number that can be arranged across a weir or other structure and the protrusions are pattern-matched to maintain a regular protrusion density.
