(Not so) Dirty Dozen

This week we installed 12 pre cast Purbeck limestone walls to the west of the Spur Redoubt.

The photo gives a great idea of what the sloped apron wall will look like once we complete works on this section.

The new wider promenade is not in construction yet, but it will sit above this sloped wall. It will be higher than the current walkway with two tiers, improved lighting and seating, retaining the views we all know and love over to the Isle of Wight.

Powering up the parapets

Six parapet units have been installed on the eastern side of our works.

We continue to use the 220 tonne crane both on the parapets and the pre cast walls - one stone, two birds so to speak! The units will run along the top of the seaward wall of the promenade along the length of Frontage One – from the Saluting Platform to Clarence Pier.

Next up - Frontage 4!

Frontage 4 of the Scheme runs from the Blue Reef Aquarium to the Pyramids.

We will be starting works in the area towards the end of January and beginning of February. We'll be sure to provide plenty of footpath diversion signs and information around the site so that you can see some of the progress and read more information about exciting developments. 

Wedding bells

This week our team met with couples who have weddings booked at Southsea Castle during Frontage 4 works.

We are fully committed to being open and transparent about our works, and we thank all those who attended the events. Our team spoke about the location of the works and the potential for noise over the coming months, followed by a walk around the area with plenty of opportunities for attendees to ask questions.
