The ramp was constructed on a core of granular material protected with 2 layers of geotextile and 2 layers of armour rock. The armour rock was sourced from limestone quarries in France, weighing between 1-3 tonnes each.
The armour rock was delivered to the site using Ovendens’ lorries and placed by an Ovenden Plant excavator fitted with a rock grapple.
A new reinforced concrete slab was placed seaward and landward of the seawall, the concrete was placed using a pump to gain access over the seawall and finished with a light tamp to provide grip for the sailors manoeuvring the boats.
