Nuttall Lands Scarborough Coastal Protection Project
01 Apr 2002
The High-Point Rendel designed scheme is expected to take 22 months to complete and involves extensive improvements to a 2.1km stretch of coastline around Scarborough's famous headland, below the castle.
The funding for the project has been provided by the British Government's DEFRA and Scarborough Council.
The scope of works includes the construction of a rock and pre-cast Accropode armoured revetment against the existing sea wall and the Grade II listed East Pier, repairs to the existing sea wall and the construction of a new parapet/wave wall and promenade.
An anticipated 280,000 tonnes of rock armour to be used during construction will be imported from Norway. The 4,000 Accropodes, weighing between 15 and 22 tonnes each, will be manufactured in Sunderland and transported by sea on barge to the site.
Some 600 pre-cast piles will also be drilled and installed at the toe of the revetment.
