I take an interest in the details of how people do things on waterways. This may be a symptom of ingrowing anorakicity, but there you have it. Some of my web pages are really of interest only to fellow-anoraks, and here is one of them.
Some years ago there was a scheme to install a hydroelectric generating plant at Tarmonbarry weir. The scheme was abandoned, and a Waterways Ireland team recently had to get a pump across the river to drain a bunded area. Here is how they moved the pump. http://irishwaterwayshistory.com/about/irish-waterways-operations/moving-a-pump-at-tarmonbarry/ or, if you prefer, http://tinyurl.com/nk5m8n or even http://preview.tinyurl.com/nk5m8n bjg
