VolkerGround Engineering at Rother Tidal Walls – East

VolkerGround Engineering recently completed the sheet piling and capping beam installation at Rother Tidal Walls – East Flood Defence Scheme.

The scope was to install 191, 6.50m long, AZ18-700 sheet piles, as well as 270 linear metres of a 600mm wide capping beam. Given the linear nature of the site and restricted working width, the team utilised its 38tn and 23tn zero swing excavator with Movax attachment to install the sheet piles and capping beam.

Working with the site team, VolkerGround Engineering was able to commence the installation of the capping beam shortly after pile installation. This resulted in programme savings for the overall project.
