This project saw us install new fencing at the base of the sea wall alongside the marshes at Burnham on Crouch - an important area for grazing. Funded by DEFRA, this upgrade replaced an old line of fencing that had deteriorated due to exposure and constant wet ground conditions.
Heavy Machinery for a Challenging Location
Reaching the Base of the Sea Wall
Due to the steep bank and awkward access, a 13-tonne machine fitted with our post driver was used to reach down to the toe of the wall. This ensured firm post placement even in the most waterlogged conditions.
- 300m of fencing installed along sea wall base
- 13t machine with post driver used for reach and stability
- Challenging terrain handled safely and efficiently
- Minimal disruption to surrounding marshland
Built to Withstand Harsh Conditions
Hot-Dipped Wire and Rot-Resistant Chestnut
To handle constant exposure to damp and salty conditions, we used Tornado HT8/80/15 high tensile wire and peeled chestnut posts - a naturally durable choice that avoids the need for chemical treatment.
- Tornado HT8/80/15 high tensile fencing
- Peeled chestnut posts resist rot in wet conditions
- Ideal for sea walls, marshes and coastal zones
- DEFRA-funded improvement project
