2006 and has berthing for 46 craft. I am pleased to say that, as mentioned in Ahoy at the beginning of the year, we now have permission from buildings department for the required alterations to the marina. The contract for the increase of the height of the piles has been awarded, after a tendering exercise, to Wyatt Construction Company Limited. The work will be overseen, by our consultant AECOM, who have been, and will continue to, liaise with the Buildings Department for the marina repairs. The piles will be extended by 2.1 metres from +4.90m Principle Datum to +7m PD. The increase in height of the piles will be sufficient to stop the marina pontoons overtopping the piles for a 1 in 100 year storm surge.
ELEVATION
Work will begin on the six piles located at the middle of the breakwater pontoon and thereafter working towards the car park.

The work will be conducted from scaffolding
Shelter Cove Marina was completed in


similar to that shown on the picture:

Work on the pile extension will take three months to complete. The first month will be for procurement of the materials, testing and manufacture of the scaffolding units. Actual work on lengthening the piles will take two months. The galvanised steel pile extension will be tested to ensure the metal is to the standard specified by Buildings Department. All welds will be non destructive tested to ensure they are good. The complete pile extension will then be covered by an approved paint system.
During the work members will be asked to move their craft to another berth in the marina, so as to allow easy access to the pile and so that there will be no chance of any damage to the members yacht.
