Trainees of Training Module 4 – Sea Defence Structures, conducted a site to Wakenaam Island on Monday 29th March 2004 to inspect critical areas of the Sea Defence Structure. Participants included Mr Stephen Pearson- Training Facilitator, Mrs. A Dalrymple- Resident Engineer, Regional Engineers from Regions 2,3,4 and 5, Personnel from Head Office and U.G attachment students. At Wakenaam we were meet by Mr. E. Golding- Acting Engineer who accompanied us during the exercise. | ||||||||||

The objective of the visit was to have the trainees examine the areas under threat and to use the sites as case studies to derive solutions to the Sea Defence problem. Areas inspected included Marionville, Amerstort, Marias Pleasure, Meerzorg, Zeelandia, Rush Brook and Maria Johanna. There are various types of Sea Defence Structure, which comprise the Sea Defence of Wakenaam. These include Timber Bulkheads, Earth Dams, Boulder Groynes and Boulder slopes. The sites inspected require immediate corrective action and would be an edifying experience and challenge resolving the problems to us as trainees. Back to Training Module 4 | ||||||||||
