This week engineers from Questa Engineering were on site to oversee the construction of the stream channel at the Pinkham project site. The channel construction involved the placement of channel spanning boulder key-ways, two log structures, and engineered stream bed material. The forming of the footing of the bridge abutments began and the first poor of concrete is expected to happen next week.
From the lower end of the project site looking upstream, the project engineer checks channel elevations as the first boulder key way is placed.
The contractor works to form and place re-bar in the southern abutment.
One of the two large woody debris structures that was installed this week. The structures will provide channel complexity and rearing habitat for steelhead trout.
