The inner harbour impoundment and pedestrian footbridge forms part of the Torquay Waterfront Regeneration Project. A concrete sill structure impounds the inner harbour and is fitted with two impounding gates that allow access for water-based craft. The gates are operated by hydraulic rams and work on the principle of a fold down door. Following the line of the sill is a pedestrian footbridge that has two hydraulically lifting leaves, aligned with the impounding gates to allow access to craft with a high free board and masts.The impounding gates are housed within the concrete piers (part of the sill structure) on which the bridge hinges and supports are located. The main bridge supports are concealed within the base of clad mast structures. On each pier there is one tall mast and one short mast; within these the hydraulic and electrical components are also located. It is possible for a single operator to open and close the bridge safely. All the equipment on the site is operated hydraulically taking its power from the hydraulic power pack
