Greenway Quay Restoration by LANDMARC W


hen Landmarc was approached by the National Trust to work with them on restoring the quay


at Greenway we felt privileged. The opportunity to collaborate with the National Trust in such a stunning and historic location on the Dart was perfect Landmarc style. Part of the quay was showing signs of subsidence and needed to be broken out, excavated and re-built to restore its structural integrity. A quay has been in existence in some form or


another for centuries at this ideal crossing point on the River. Most recently Greenway Quay was extended by the Americans in World War II to provide a base to fuel vessels that were being used by crews in training for the D-Day landings. there were rumours of all sorts of interesting items to be found in the main bulk of the quay construction dating from that time. PCA Consulting engineers based in


Kingsbridge, provided the design for the project. Landmarc worked closely with them to ensure the work could be carried out from the quay instead of barges placed in the river. Having our own 24 tonne long reach excavator made everything easier, but our first challenge was to access the site using the narrow lane


from the entrance to Greenway House itself. Laying ground protection mats on the surface of the road ensured we didn’t damage the lane and we managed to make it with a little room to spare. Working in such close proximity to the


river meant Landmarc had to adhere to a strict environmental Management Plan. Due to the nature of the vast majority of contracts we carry out, this was not a problem for us. Machinery was converted to run on specialist vegetable based bio-


oils and a designated area at the furthest point from the river was used for refuelling.
