Scheme Progress - 12 July 2004

Work is now finished at Sandgate Esplanade and the bulk of the fencing has been taken down.

All of the concrete slabs on The Riviera are now complete. The only work remaining is to construct the rear upstand towards the western end near the Riviera Road and to replace the uppermost line of rocks to the revetment. The raising of the seawall continues at Sandgate with construction of the slabs at the western end nearing completion and the new rising main is currently being installed at the eastern end.

The extension pipes to the two sea outfalls are now in place with the cross bracing completed and all piles trimmed to their correct length.

The delivery pipe has now been moved to its second location at Sandgate and the shingle continues to be pumped ashore and moved into position.

Rock placement continues on the 3 rock structures. The manhole ring base support to the concrete walkway on the large curved structure is taking shape. Some photographs of the works are attached.
