WUF were contacted by DCWW to repair a large scour hole in the banks of the Usk  at Llanellen. The initial estimate to fill the hole was for 80 tons of 40 mm gravel but over the course of a week the hole was filled with 120 tons gravel. Then the gravel was covered with 40 tons of topsoil and reseeded.

The follow up inspection showed vegetation establishing well. Once fully reinstated, the bank will form a natural revetment providing shelter for birds, fish, mammals and invertebrates
