Llangollen Canal Breach

Following the embankment breach on the Llangollen Canal over the Christmas period, Selwood supported the emergency response with a rapid bypass pumping solution - helping maintain controlled water movement while supporting ongoing recovery works and longer-term repair plans.

The temporary system was operational within 72 hours, helping the Canal & River Trust safely progress investigations and recovery work.
