Scheme Progress - 25 June 2004

At Sandgate Esplanade, work is now essentially complete with just some tidying up to do. Where possible, the fencing will be removed but it will be necessary to keep some in place due to the beach nourishment.

The eastern section of The Riviera is now complete and work is well underway on the western section. Work continues on the raising of the seawall in two locations. Most of the nosing is now complete and construction has commenced on the slabs.

The extension pipes to the two sea outfalls are now in place, the only work remaining here is to trim up the piles and finish the cross bracing to secure the piles in place.

The beach nourishment started on 21 June as planned and a further week of pumping is planned at the first location before the delivery pipe is moved further east towards Sandgate.

Rock placement continues on the 3 rock structures and should be completed in the next 2-3 weeks. Some photographs of the works are attached.
