Advantages and Benefits

  • Soleno’s patent-pending removable fish weir meets the objectives of the new Regulations respecting the Sustainable Development of Forests in the state domain (RRSDF), by allowing for the free flow of water and the free movement of aquatic wildlife.
  • By reducing the water flow, the Soleno fish weir facilitates the passage and the countercurrent movement by the fish, while serving as a refuge for the fauna and the fry.
  • The flow speed reduction in the culvert reduces the erosion at the outlet, which is beneficial to the conservation and stability of the slopes.

Innovation

In accordance with government objectives to support the development and growth of forest markets, Soleno continues to innovate and has created a removable fish weir for steel culverts that meets the objectives of the new Regulations respecting the Sustainable Development of Forests in the state domain (RRSDF).

Recommendations

  • The weir is used in cases where the free passage of fish must be ensured, in accordance with the objectives of Section 105 of the RRSDF, and when the conditions of Schedule 9 of the RRSDF cannot be met.
  • The use of a steel culvert equipped with fish weirs is recommended for sites with a high, 2 % to 6 % slope.
  • The weir is manufactured in accordance with the requirements of Section 106 and Schedule 10 of the RRSDF.
