Projects :
1. River Cree weir removal, Newton Stewart, Wigtownshire Phase 1 (Completion Date: Apr 2010) The objective was to reinstate natural geomorphic processes in a 1.7km reach of the River Cree by partial removal a of a series of weirs. Modelling of the reach confirmed that the proposed modifications to the weirs would produce a more natural sediment transport regime and a more natural and diverse channel morphology.
2. Mains of Dyce channel realignment, River Don, Aberdeenshire (Completion Date: May 2010) The objective was to produce a stable design for a day-lighted culverted channel. The initial channel constructed prior to our involvement was very unstable with up to 2m incision. We surveyed the channel, modelled a design flow and produced a stable step-pool design.
| Over 15 years experience in water recourses science, working mainly in fluvial geomorphology-instream ecology interactions (both research and consultancy). This work has mainly been linked to river restoration, both to provide scientific support and in the design of specific projects. Three years were spent working in the USA provided valuable training in river restoration, hydrodynamic modeling and topographic surveying. In addition to a PhD, Hamish is also qualified in water resources engineering to Masters level. |
