Marina infrastructure works combine complex engineering with the challenges of waterside environments and live commercial operations. In collaboration with our skilled design and supply chains, we have successfully completed one of the most demanding stages in our foul pump station project at Noss on Dart Marina.

Following the installation of an 8m x 8m CFA secant piled cofferdam in tidal groundwater conditions by Sheppard Piling, our site team, with D&P Reinforcements, safely excavated the wet well structure to a depth of 7.5 metres. Controlled dewatering, continuous groundwater management, and close coordination with the Marina Control team kept operations running smoothly throughout.

The chamber is lined with precast concrete rings, providing strength and stability at depth. Once operational, the pumping station will transfer wastewater across the marina and up a steep incline into the existing mains network, connecting the full range of commercial and residential buildings along the waterfront.

Delivery of this stage has been driven by the efforts of our Contracts Manager Tony Crossley and the D&P Reinforcements site team, working in difficult conditions within an already challenging environment. Supported by the design expertise of Case Consultants and the structural input of Hamill Davies Ltd, the works continue to progress with precision and control.

With the wet well now complete, the next stage will see installation of the rising main and pumping equipment before commissioning – a critical step in delivering safe, reliable, and fully integrated marina infrastructure.
