This shows the formation of a level working surface and the installation of the “Dutch Toe” anti-scour system. After this, 4 ton GeoRock bags were installed to form a new slope angle of 35 degrees. This serves as the dunes core protection for future tidal and wave attack.
Stemella Bosch Africa are the design engineers and Devru Construction effected the works.
