3D view of intake - looking upstream from the west bank New intake access track forming upstream bund The intake is located at grid ref 204791,888654. The intake screen arrangement is a drop bar type screen with 10mm spacing and set at a 10 deg down angle. This type of intake has been selected for it's low profile which reduces upstream flood level and is very robust. The design flow capacity is 1050 l/s. The compensation flow is to be divided between the fixed notch in the weir and a small chamber flushing flow which is discharged approx. 35m down-stream of the intake. The road access is an integral part of the intake design, forming an upstream bund to contain moderate flood flows 3D view of intake - looking upstream from west bank rdessie HEP INTK - 001 Flush sluice with access steps Sluice gate controls (all handles will be removable and stowed) Compensation flow notch Dimensions pending SEP discussion Intake screen 10mm spacing, 10 deg down angle

The compensation flow is to be divided between the fixed notch in the weir and a small chamber flushing flow which is discharged approx. 35m down-stream of the intake. There are various isolation sluice gates built into the sump chamber and all handles shall be removable to lessen visual impact.

3D view of intake access track - distant view from west bank Track 'cut' section The access track is required to the intake for both construction and longer term maintenance. ccess is formed by a cut/fill track down the steep river bank. This section of the banking is out of the flood flows. The flat section of track running to the intake then forms a river bund design to contain moderate flood flows. Very high flows will overtop the east bank of the intake but the ground will be protected with rip rap and geo-textile to ensure it can survive the occasional over-topping 3D view of track to the intake from the west bank rdessie HEP INTK - 008 ccess track forming bund to contain moderate flood flows Track 'fill' section

This has both a large diameter flush pipe for occasional heavy flushes and also a smaller diameter flush pipe so as not to require frequent heavy flushing as this may impact on the Scottish Water inlet downstream off the intake. The small flush pipe will form part of the compensation flow. 5.25 m 1.00 m 0.30 m 1.65 m Front elevation rdessie HEP INTK - 012 1:100 Pipe to turbine Flush pipe Secondary compensation flow pipe to downstream outlet
