royne Construction Progress Update

Construction of the groynes has progressed more slowly over the past two months as repair work was required on Groynes 5 and 6 following the recent storms. These repairs are nearing completion and are expected to be finalised within the next few days.

During this period, WBHO has also experienced interruptions in the supply of Type 1 armour rock from the quarry. Type 1 armour rock, with individual rocks weighing between one and three tonnes, forms the largest and most critical component used in the construction of the groynes and plays an important role in their long-term stability and resilience.

Once the repair work has been completed, WBHO will return to Groynes 1 and 3 to continue construction. The pace of progress will remain dependent on the ongoing availability of Type 1 armour rock from the quarry.
