Parkstone Bay Marina

Parkstone Bay Marina is located next to sandbanks in Poole Dorset and approached us in the autumn of 2008 to remove the ageing jetty and rusted sheet piles surrounding the slipway and proposed fuelling depot. After consultation with ourselves the client decided to use the new environmentally friendly plastic sheet pile option, these are made from all recycled products and are very sturdy indeed, will not rust over time, and cause zero pollution to the harbour. The harbour master was delighted with this choice and thoroughly endorsed their use.

The client also instructed us to carry out all works for the refuelling station located adjacent to the slipway. An interceptor tank and catchment bund were installed to meet with the very high requirements of the environment agency, strict guidelines had to be met due to location and sensitive wildlife in the area. Any chance of fuel spillage into the harbour had to be eliminated completely.

The entire area was then encased with reinforced concrete slabs forming a clean and safe environment for the marinas watercraft to refuel from. As a local company we were delighted to help protect Poole harbour with its diverse wildlife population and ensure its safe enjoyment for the next generation.
