The team have had to overcome tempestuous seas, tidal working, commuting to work by RIB in an unpredictable swell and the vagaries of a Guernsey summer in an incredibly exposed – albeit spectacular – location. Overnight stays in somewhat bijou accommodation were taken in the team’s stride.

As well as having to deal with the extreme logistics and planning challenge presented by the project, various geotechnical and rope access skills were employed to form the temporary works to enable the permanent structure to be completed. The majority of the temporary frames and anchor drill had to be assembled and disassembled between tides.

Engineering Director Tom Whitmore said, “Our client, Trinity House, are delighted with the progress to date. I must compliment the Hanois team for delivering such a complex job in a unique location.”
