Strange how this work is no-longer news to NR.... Andy G HEARSAY did hear some of the units came from Derbyshire, but not sure if that was the "L" shaped ones used in the original hole The seawall paving edge/coping pieces used from Rockstone bridge back to Redrock came from Redruth/Pool in Cornwall I know that as I spoke to the lorry driver who delivered them to Dawlish Warren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granitechops Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 (edited) There was a question on Dawlish Beach cam about the plates/plaques appearing on cam along the inside of the seawall parapet I just been down Redrock & along the sea wall to Rockstone bridge & saw an electrician at work he was fixing LIGHTS to the outside of the wall, the wire would then go over the wall to the board on the inside where junction boxes will go every 12 feet from Rockstone to the steps Edited January 24, 2015 by Granitechops 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granitechops Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 The railway has also to contend with weather factors causing cliff erosion not serious, but ongoing is the soft sandstone getting saturated, then a frost like we have recently had causes spalling, expansion of the wet rock, causing lumps to 'detatch' from the cliff faces as seen here near the signal gantry between Rockstone & Redrock this slope was all green when I was last along here 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granitechops Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 A regular visitor was spotted observing the latest activity probably glad that he/she was upwind of the drilling crew that was hard at work in the compound at Dawlish Warren was seen a stack of 8 or 12 steel reinforcing cages fabricated ready to be used inside the 'L' units down 150 awaiting signal to clear 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saintly1941 Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Ray, when you think about it, the walk way along the wall during the summer months are quite often frequented by foot sloggers on there way home from the Warren. So I would imagine the help of extra lighting would be welcome and providing the waves are kind the lights should hold up, of course if the covers are durable. Life expectancy? For a long time we hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granitechops Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 (edited) Those lights, post #4627. How long are they expected to last? MY CONJECTURE Judging by past experience, just temporary for the workmens benefit & the residents ( less floodlights pouring into bedrooms for week/months on end) when the Dawlish Station footbridge roof was damaged early summer, the contractor installed custom bent stainless steel handrail around the curve of the walkway where they were working BUT when they finished they removed it While it would have been a good safety feature on that corner permanently, it has been heard, everything other than approved major works have to returned to "as it was" Also the mounting boards would not comply with regs and safety rails would have to be put in front to avoid pushchairs, wheel chairs, etc., causing damage to them, or ripping them off the wall leaving bare wire exposed EDIT;- photo of short lived railings from May 2014 Edited January 25, 2015 by Granitechops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Captain Kernow Posted January 25, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 25, 2015 CONJECTURE Judging by past experience, just temporary for the workmens benefit Don - I'm certain that you're correct. No one has mentioned permanent lighting to me. You'd have to install it the whole length of the wall as well, and there's no evidence of that elsewhere, I think (ie. on the sections already reopened to the public)?
