Balfour Beatty Living Places has been featured in New Civil Engineer for their involvement in the restoration of the Glory Hole Jetty in Lincoln. The project involved a complex operation due to the deterioration of the old timber and wooden pile structure, as revealed by an underwater inspection. Alan Renshaw, Highways Agent for Balfour Beatty Living Places, and Jonathan Jackson, Dive Supervisor at Northern Divers, discussed the challenges of the restoration, emphasizing the precision and appreciation for the historic nature of the Grade II listed site.
According to Alan Renshaw, the deterioration was caused by water seeping in behind the piles, washing away the ground and creating a void under the concrete cap that had been previously attempted. This led to the collapse of the structure, resulting in its closure for an extended period. The restoration project was a complex experience, requiring careful attention to detail and historical significance.
