Environment Agency’s work to maintain Burnham sea wall is underway

-

A programme of work to maintain Burnham’s sea wall is underway by the Environment Agency.

Gaps between the concrete steps often occur when tar melts in the summer months and the corrosive salty water erodes and weakens parts of the structure – therefore making the regular strengthening work essential.

The wall has taken a hammering on several occasions during recent years when it has felt the brunt of stormy seas. The current work is being carried out by a team of three workers and is scheduled to last several weeks.
