SeaRock boost coastal defences in Dorset

摘要

SEAROCK - a new joint venture between Aggregate Industries and Earlcoate construction - have completed a delivery of armour-stone to protect Dorset's picturesque West Bay, for principle contractors Bam Nuttall. The project was part of a £9 million coastal-defence project, funded by Defra, West Dorset Council and Wessex Regional Flood Defence Committee. West Bay, on Dorset's Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site, had been eroding rapidly, but SeaRock's delivery of 36,000 tonnes of armour-stone - with each individual stone weighing between 0.3 and 10 tonnes - will halt the damage.
