Seawall restoration at the East Coast until Jul 09

Existing "damaged" seawalls will be removed and sand and stone topped up. The works will be carried out by excavators from the landward side and the materials for the restoration works will be provided by the work barges.
This may have something to do with the serious erosion problems encountered on the East Coast reclaimed lands.
Erosion is quite extensive on some portions and is affecting old trees.

While the reclaimed East Coast may appear to be lifeless, it is very much alive and in fact turned up some new records recently, including a new snail and a new clam.

The restoration works will entail the removal of existing damaged revetment and topping up of sand/ stone in the revetment. These works will be carried out by excavators from the landward side and the materials for the restoration works will be provided by the work barges. A safety boat will be deployed in the vicinity of the working area to warn other craft to keep clear of the operations.
