What the January inspector recorded
January’s engineering inspection records four areas of missing stonework upstream and two downstream.
About this record
The engineering inspection dated 21 January 2025 records specific observations rather than simply a general rating. Its parapets comment identifies four areas of missing stonework upstream and two downstream; a five-metre collapsed length at the left-hand side on both upstream and downstream walls; and downstream capping recorded as partly removed. Its final comments list work required to the abutment, training walls and parapet walls. Reporting those entries does not identify who removed capping or establish when the recorded damage first occurred. Our question: which follow-up records address those particular observations and the listed work?

Missing stonework: four and two
January’s engineering inspection records four areas of missing stonework upstream and two downstream.
A five-metre collapsed length
It records a five-metre collapsed length at the left-hand side on both upstream and downstream walls.
The capping entry
The inspector recorded that downstream capping had been partly removed. That entry does not identify who removed it.
The work listed
The final comments list work required to the abutment, training walls and parapet walls.
Observation date, not origin date
These are observations recorded on 21 January 2025. They do not establish when the damage first occurred.
