Southbay Civil Engineering have refurbished short sea outfall structures off the North East Coast
Tuesday, 10th October 2023
Southbay Civil Engineering have successfully delivered a contract to refurbish two short sea outfall structures located off the North East Coast of England at County Durham.
The outfall structures are used to safely discharge treated mine water into the North Sea from the Dawdon Mine Water Treatment Scheme. Due to the tidal location of the outfall structures, construction progressed from a 250 tonne Jack Up Barge.
Using a team of specialist divers, the project involved replacing sections of damaged outfall, placement of scour protection, and the installation of marker buoys.
The specialist marine experience of Southbay was instrumental in delivering this challenging contract, which will ultimately help to protect a vital source of drinking water used to supply over 30,000 people in the region.
