Cobden Dump Sea Protection Wall

Contract Duration:

February – October 2018

Contract Description:

This contract was the result of damage caused by Cyclone Fehi that hit the West Coast in January 2018.
The work was completed into three stages:
Stage 1: Clean up after the storm, gather and bury rubbish and cover in the old Cobden landfill.
Stage 2: Supply, cart and place 26,500 tonnes of rock to reinstate the 330m of rock wall in front of the landfill.
Stage 3: Supply, cart and place another 35,000 tonnes of rock to further extend the rock wall 420m south around the Cobden breakwater.

Contract Achievement:

This contract was completed in accordance with the agreed rates and quantities set by the Grey District Council.

The rock was placed with great attention to detail, ensuring a high standard of workmanship throughout the project. It was carefully positioned to create a natural, cohesive appearance that complements the surrounding environment. This approach not only enhances the aesthetic value of the Cobden Sea foreshore but also contributes to the long-term stability and durability of the area. The finished result is a visually striking and well-integrated landscape feature that enriches the coastal setting, offering both an attractive visual experience and improved environmental resilience.
