Wells Outer Harbour Work Completed

Wells-next-the-Sea Outer Harbour work is now complete except for connecting up the utilities according to the the Harbour website. The outer harbour has been constructed to support the new Sheringham Shoal Wind Farm and consists of 150m of floating pontoons inside a harbour built from sandbanks to the east and south, a re-profiled beach to the north and the ‘beach bank’ to the west.

Outer Harbour Pontoons Arrive

Plenty of action on Wells-next-the-Sea quayside this week with the arrival and launching of the new pontoons for the outer harbour. Some piles have already been positioned in the outer harbour and some of the pontoons have been towed down there. The piling work has been done by a crane barge especially brought in for the work. A mobile crane has been on the quay for launching the pontoons.

The Kari Hege continues dredging the channel as part of the ongoing work. Presently working between number 6 and 10 buoys. Most of the work around the new outer harbour has been completed but the entrance to the harbour from the main channel has yet to be cleared.

The outer harbour will be used as a support base for the new Sheringham Shoal Wind Farm.
