Habitat Enhancement
This project was undertaken in tandem with the Trimley Foreshore recharge work on the opposite bank of the estuary.
A total of around 15,000m³ of dredged gravel and silt was placed on site. These were retained using clay and gravel bunds.
The work was done through amphibious excavations and placement of mud through rainbow disposal.
