In February 2006 Millennium Marine Contractors Ltd completed phase 2 scour repairs at Blue Anchor Bay near Minehead Somerset. The sea wall defenses had been badly eroded by high tidal movements along the Severn Estuary. The main bulk of works consisted of excavation of beach material, shuttering, mass concrete pours, mesh reinforcement and finally Spray concrete. Poor weather and high tides made for an interesting working environment! MMC was contracted through Atkins Transport & Highways for Somerset District Council. With logistical and tidal problems to overcome MMC sought to work within a tight budget to achieve a successful outcome “For a job well done and a finished result that looks exceptionally good” Mark Eldridge – Atkins.
