Babbacombe Beach Road Stabilisation Scheme

The existing retaining wall on the lower section of Beach Road is slipping down the coastal slope, which in turn is causing the carriageway to fail. There is currently a 3T weight limit on the road as a result. Therefore a new retaining structure is required to stop the road collapsing.

The works comprise of piling into the existing carriageway behind the existing wall, and installing ground anchors to tie the piles back to stable ground. A new parapet wall is to be constructed along the top of the piled wall. A new kerb line is to be laid behind the new wall and the carriageway resurfaced.

Additional information: This procurement process was a Further Competition from Torbay Council's Framework for Rock Face Stabilisation Works T00316CCS awarded on 1 September 2016 and the only suppliers invited to the Further Competition were the Contractors who are on this Framework.
