The Council invests resources each
year into maintaining its existing coastal defence structures. This
extends the life of the assets and ensures the appropriate level of
protection is sustained.
No coastal defence is maintence free,
although in some cases cost can be quite minimal.
Examples of maintenance works
undertaken are:
- Shingle recycling.
- Beach nourishment.
- Replacement of timber planking on groynes and revetments.
- Concrete repairs to seawalls.
- Construction/basket repairs to gabion seawalls.
- Repointing to masonry seawalls.
- Construction of permeable concrete revetments.
