Mackley, Van Oord wrap up Lydd Ranges job

The Lydd Ranges Sea Defenses scheme has been completed successfully, said Van Oord.

Commissioned by the Environment Agency, Van Oord partnered with subsidiary Mackley to execute this coastal project.

The work consisted of:

• 320,000 cubic metres of shingle beach nourishment,

• construction of 34 timber groynes, rock armour protection,

• other flood risk management related asset improvement and replacement works.

The coastal defense project at Lydd forms part of a much larger coastal defense scheme to better protect the Kent coastline for the next 100 years, said Van Oord.
