Jeremy Littlejohn
Boskalis and Atkins, as part of the VBA Joint Venture, undertook the design and construction of the new Hengistbury Head Long Groyne between 2022 and 2024. Working in an exposed site, with environmental and archaeological constraints, and with extensive public interface, the project was delivered below budget and with significant added value to the client.

The £10 million South Quay development in Poole was completed in 2018. It is a 200m long x 40m wide deep-water quay that provides 9m in depth to accommodate vessels up to 220m in length. This has seen the Port’s capacity for conventional cargoes, yacht liners and special project cargo increase and will facilitate the ever-increasing interest from cruise ships wishing to visit Poole and the surrounding area. The development has enabled the port to accommodate bigger ships, carrying over 1,000 passengers.
Construction of the new quay, by BAM Nuttall Ltd, required 1,700 tons of steel piles, all delivered by sea, as well as 150,000 cubic metres of sand used during development with reclamation fill taken directly from the port’s maintenance dredging scheme. The talk will describe the design and construction of the scheme.
