Project work for defence contractors in the UK is
increasing, with more and more coastal defence work taking place to protect
local communities. A great amount of work has commenced during the first half
of 2015, with many more projects planned to go underway later on in the year.
Next week coastal defence work will start along Llanddulas
tip in North Wales. This is to repair and reinforce the damaged defences over
the frontage, which stretches over 810m. The work will involve removing the
protection system, a geotextile membrane will then be installed and the rock
armour revetment will be re-graded and enlarged.
Defence contractors in the UK complete projects to the
highest standard and efficiently, but no project is the same with regards to
its set time frame. The work taking place in Llanddulas is expected to take two
months to complete, whereas other projects on the go are expected to be
completed in the very early new year of 2016.
Market leaders in the supply and placement of graded rock
armour for defence projects are providing defence contractors with the
opportunity to protect the local communities. If you live close by to the
coastline in your area, your household is at higher risk during torrential
weather.
Dramatic weather changes can have a very negative impact on
the local area, affecting the day to day running of the local area. Footpaths
and cycle paths are likely to be closed in the aftermath due to health and
safety, roads which stretch along the coastline would also be closed, but also
flooding often takes place after a drastic coastal event.
Fortunately, there is a new national database that holds
details of coastal flooding in the UK, which has built up over the last 100
years. This new database called SurgeWatch is set to help prevent coastal
flooding by allowing sea defence contractors in the UK to access this useful
tool.
