Over the last 5 years, considerable work has taken place on the Rossall Sea Defences designed and built to protect thousands of homes from the risk of coastal flooding, as well as providing a fantastic new promenade to aid visitors and residents in appreciating the full beauty and rare flora and fauna of the area. Woodscape are proud to have supplied a large quantity of Type 4 cantilevered wall seats to this 64 million pound scheme.
Woodscape were also tasked with providing a walkway over a location of biological importance and interest, that would both enhance the area and allow access to the promenade. In collaboration with Balfour Beatty and Blackpool & Wyre Councils, a design was developed that incorporated a stunning elliptical viewing platform, with easy access and DDA compliant ramps.
As specialists in the use of Naturally Very Durable Hardwood, a timber essential for durability in marine based installations, Woodscape were perfectly placed to craft a feature product that would both thrive in, and complement this demanding environment. Use of 316 grade stainless steel tensioning further adds to the builds strength and durability, while acting as subtle and stylish safeguard. Anti-slip decking ensures safe and easy passage for the many visitors looking to admire the grasslands or travel through to the promenade.
By finishing many of the required elements at our Blackburn based workshop utilising our 5-axis CNC, we were able to deliver and install a complex, bespoke product, with minimal time spent on-site, working closely with the principal contractor for an issue free build.
