Tidal Gauge Installation Preprations on The Wash

August 28, 2015

FoundOcean, UK, have successfully completed the grouting operations which formed part of the installation of a tidal gauge in The Wash, south of Skegness. The tidal gauge will provide accurate tidal information, used for a number of purposes including tidal analysis and prediction, oceanographic research, coastal defence and storm surge warning systems.

The grout, a custom design, was mixed and pumped using FoundOcean’s Recirculating Jet Mixer to form a secure connection between the gauge’s monopile foundation and transition piece.

It is one of a number of projects FoundOcean has successfully undertaken using skills transferred from the offshore energy construction industry, including the parbuckling of the Costa Concordia in 2014.
