Southsea Coastal Scheme: Rock from Norway for Frontage 1 April 13, 2021, by Eldin Ganic
The Southsea Coastal Scheme, responsible for delivering new sea defences along 4.5km of seafront from Old Portsmouth to Eastney, has just released the latest project update.
“This week sees us taking delivery of 5,600t of rock from Norway that will be used to create the revetment at Frontage 1 (Long Curtain Moat),” according to the official announcement.
“A coaster used to ship the rock has anchored in the Solent whilst a barge and tug brings the rocks closer to shore for offloading and stockpiling directly onto the beach, ready for the works to commence,” the statement reads.
