Site Works Update
While the project is all but complete, there are still some final works required to bring the area online and ready for use. The project has faced numerous challenges, the single largest outstanding of these is connection of the site to the National Grid. Until this takes place, much of the site, including automated gates, landing quay cranes, ice making facility and cold storage units are without power and unable to be commissioned. However, Scottish & Southern Electricity (SSE) have ... Read more...

They have also begun works on the east ramp adjacent to Compound B which continues the new public ... Read more...

Site Works Update
Progress continues at Weymouth Peninsula; over the last month the Knights Brown team have almost completed the west ramp and davit crane bases. The demolition of Building F is finished and further ducting has been fitted at compounds A&B. An attenuation tank has been installed which will control the amount of storm water that runs off the site and is released into the local sewer systems. Without this, heavy rainfall could cause serious overloading of the exisiting infrastructure. In ... Read more...

Progress at Weymouth Quay
Since our last update in mid-December, the team at Knights Brown have made significant progress, despite breaking for Christmas. Possibly the most notable change is the demolision of Building F; a rather significant time for Weymouth Harbour as we see the last traces of the ferry terminal buildings disappear! The slab for the fish bait store and fish landing stage are complete, and further progress has been made with drainage & ducting (compounds B&C). In the coming weeks, work ... Read more...
