  1. CASE STUDY- West Fork Beaver River, West Point, OH.Constructed Sept. 2002 Minimal height Bendway Weirs in a gravel-cobble-sand-silt bed stream

  2. Functions of Bendway Weirs on the West Fork Beaver River: Main function is realignment of the thalweg through the bend and also center the thalweg within the channel immediately downstream of the bend where a pipeline was exposed by erosion. The pipeline cover was protected with Articulated Concrete Mattress (ACM). Secondary function was to provide some bank stabilization within the bend.

  3. SUB MAR West Fork of Beaver River West Point, OH. Pre-project picture. Looking US at an eroding outer bank.

  4. SUB MAR NOTE: We did not build the two upstream Bendway Weirs

  5. SUB MAR Close-up of Bendway Weirs

  6. Looking DS at three Bendway Weirs, constructed Sept 2002 SUB MAR Pix by derrick 9-2002

  7. Looking DS at the same 3 Bendway Weirs 5 years after construction. Fines in BW’s have washed out, but well graded 18 to 24 inch stone is stable & bank is stable. SUB MAR Pix by derrick 9-17-2007

  8. SUB MAR Looking US at two low elevation Bendway Weirs, two years after construction, 05/11/2004.

  9. SUB MAR Looking US at the same two low elevation Bendway Weirs, five years after construction, 9/17/2007. Note stable flat angle, vegetated bank.

  10. SUB MAR Close-up of the DS low-elevation Bendway Weir, five years after installation. Pix by derrick 9-17-2007

  11. Great aquatic habitat due to the deep pools created by the Bendway Weirs. These pools were full of high quality fishes, indicating that water quality is excellent. {5 years after project completion} SUB MAR Pix by derrick 9-17-2007
