ENVIRONMENTAL AWARENESS


powerful waves from the North Sea’s long fetch. In order to mitigate this, a coastal engineering project was initiated. A combination of beach nourishment, revetments and rock groynes was employed with the intention of bolstering the shoreline’s natural defences and absorbing the wave’s energy to minimise further erosion. This project was successful in slowing coastal retreat, protecting vital infrastructure and local communities. Ongoing maintenance and remediation ensured these structures continue to stand strong against the coast’s dynamism.


What standards should be taken into consideration?


There are a number of established standards and guidelines in which construction professionals can draw insight from. The Coastal Engineering Manual (CEM) for example, covers a vast spectrum of coastal engineering topics, and serves as a practical reference for industry professionals. Additionally, BS 6349 (2012): Maritime Works, General. Code of Practice for Geotechnical outlines recommendations for geotechnical activities associated with the design, construction and maintenance of coastal works.


Some things are worth saving


Introducing our new PRV – the ART 671. This WRAS Approved PRV comes complete with a pressure gauge and is designed and manufactured to BS EN 1567. This PRV is the latest addition to our ever-growing range, we now boast a selection of connection types and pressure options, so you can rest assured, that it really is, ‘All at Albion’. Reducing pressure means saving water, protecting fixtures and fittings, and minimising wastage. Those are savings we can all get behind.


We care about the things that matter to you.
