AWMA offer a range of a modern, fish and debris exclusion screen solutions.
Pictured are four Cone Screens on a pump inlet manifold and a T-screen on a custom retrieval system.
This footage was captured during a recent site visit to Trangie-Nevertire Irrigation Scheme (TNIS) - the screening project that's Australia’s largest showcase of modern pump screening designed for fish protection.
“Some fish would come up through the pumps and they’d be chopped in half. We don’t have that anymore because they have to get through a 2-3mm wedge wire.” – Shane Smith, TNIS Water Operations Manager
The TNIS Pump Station upgrade project was the first install of 7 priority pumping sites, requiring 24 screens, along the Macquarie River, as part of the NSW Government's Regional Recovery Program.
