PROJECT PROFILES: PORTS, MARINAS AND WATER ENGINEERING

Littlehampton Harbour, West Sussex

Numerous investigation works have been carried out by the company for the redevelopment of this old riverside harbour. Investigations have included the drilling of boreholes, the installation of monitoring standpipes and production of interpretative reports for the design of sheet pile walls and revetments.

Whitstable, Kent

Working from a scaffold platform extending from the quay wall over water, this investigation included the drilling of cable percussion boreholes through the harbour floor. The interpretative report provided design advice for the construction of a new sea wall.

Gosport Marina, Hampshire

A new marina development in Gosport required Ashdown to carry out an inspection of an existing quay wall to identify tie rod locations. Investigation works also included drilling boreholes and carrying out a programme of laboratory testing to assist in the design of reclamation works and the development of the waterfront for new apartments.

Pevensey, East Sussex

Works are proposed to improve flow measurement on existing water courses throughout the Pevensey Levels, a site of special scientific interest, in East Sussex. Minimal impact investigation work, carried out by Ashdown using window sampler and hand augering techniques, has enabled the soil profile to be modelled and allowed the installation of new measuring weirs and groundwater monitoring standpipes.
