Dawlish Sea Wall Update - Installing the Railway Station Bridge Deck
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 чер 2023
- In this Dawlish Sea Wall update, the @BAMNuttallTV team install the new bridge deck and lift shaft with the cantilever we saw from a previous video when we went to @ShaymurtaghUk in Ireland.
For this lift, they needed a 750-tonne crane in the Dawlish railway station car park. This is one of the largest cranes they can use in the car park due to its size.

As part of the precast delivery drivers on this project ( the 70ton deck)for the Shay Murtagh Group,it is nice to see the whole process involved.
Fantastic video with good drone/night view,editing etc 👏👏
Thanks for the info on the night Andrew!
👏 👏 👏 super install Jack and gang. All of us at Shay Murtaghs thrilled with result - congrats
Thank you Gillian. Shay Murtagh is now a household name in Dawlish. :-)
The last couple of years have been absolutely fascinating and so educational from a civil engineering aspect. I’m absolutely sure the marvellous filming by BCM and the achievements that BAM Nuttall have made will encourage many more youngsters to explore civil engineering as a potential career option. 👍🇬🇧
Indeed. Shay Murtagh use our videos to educate school children in Ireland.
When you discussed the heavy crane being broken down into parts for road weight requirements, I didn’t consider the extreme LENGTH of the unit!!😮 The overhead drone shots of the crane barely making the curves of Dawlish streets was just as impressive as the rest of the video!! Great stuff!!
We knew it would be tight but wow.
Please let us know which film awards you can be nominated for - we have been spellbound by the whole story of this massive project and have been able to follow even complicated processes.
Hahahaha Thank you.
Who needs your Hollywood blockbusters. I'm absolutely fascinated by the unfolding drama of the Dawlish project. Thanks to everyone involved.
Absolutely super work in such tight quarters. It's all in the planning and clearly that payed off with stellar results. Bittersweet when this project closes out it's been great to watch from the beginning till now. As a PM myself, hats off to you Jack for brilliant planning right the way through.
Much appreciated! Full documentary coming once finished.
Fantastic series of videos and this one is just exceptional including superb music. We came recently to see the work being done. I hope there is a TV documentary when it's all complete.
Great work recording all the developments with the wall, and now this. Just brilliant work from everyone concerned , from Neil and team recording, Jack of Bam Nuttall and sub-contractors, to Shay Murtagh producing these massive concrete creations. Congratulations to all involved. We were there for the week leading up to this and had a good look round all the work and saw the preparations for this lift. We were very impressed with all the modern improvements so far. Thanks.
Many thanks!
Fabulous video Neil and Jack thank you amazing feat of engineering from all concerned 😊😊xx
Glad you enjoyed it
I was watching just before the lift, admiring your lovely sunrise, then dozed off about 9:30pm my time. When I woke up, it was in place! So, THANK YOU for this!
Wow, thank you
Thank you Neil and jack and all the work team for all the brilliant work thay have done over the last few months it's been nice following all the work,, hope to be down thar in a few months on holiday so it will be really nice to look all around it a get some nice photos,, all so hope all my lovely black swans are all well and okay,, take care all and see you soon when I arrive down thar
Thank you so much John.
Can't believe how emotional I feel watching this from Wales 🏴 ! Brits at their best, thank you for taking us along with the whole thing .
Glad you enjoyed it. :-)
Thsnk you Neil and Jack for this dynamic video. Well done to everyone involved!
Thanks Rhonda.
Great video, great engineering feat. How everything lined up, all the fixtures and fittings.
Thank you very much! it's amazing how they do it.
Brilliant. Thanks as usual. The whole construction has been amazing to watch, stage by stage. The lads are amazing at work. Can't wait to see final outcome.
Glad you enjoyed it.
The professionalism of everyone involved is astounding. Image quality is superb too. I would never have thought that I would be so captivated by an engineering project, the logistics of which are mind boggling. As for the cost............!!!
Means the world Neil. Thank you.
really enjoying these insights into the heavy civil engineering at Dawlish Station. Sea Breeze Cam is my work from home view.
Excellent film. Well done to the original planners, and the execution teams at the construction and assembly.
hi neil and jack
a massive well done to jack his team and sub contractors for a brill install and neil once again you amaze me with your photography skills.
brill video as always look forward to the next one.
peter from solihull
Glad you enjoyed it.
Hi lads ,that was absolutely awesome 👍😎 well done lads great work .....
Fantastic, awesome videography and editing, and well done to the hard working professionals of Bam and the other companies involved !!
Utterly perfect! Well done everyone 👍
Glad you think so!
As part of the team that worked on the bid for this job, it's just amazing to see it all come to fruition. So many complexities that people (including me) just don't appreciate in the early stages of a project. Fantastic to be able to see it all unfold. Well done to the whole team, subbies and all and to Dawlish Beach Cam man for capturing it all.
what a fantastic video that was amazing work by Jack and his team and good filmimg by yourself Neil top man it was fantastic to see it all drop into place with only centimeters to play with great planning lads . ans thanks for sharing brilliant job can't wait to see it finished take care a t b Syddy😃👍👌
Glad you enjoyed it
Thank you both for sharing with us. Truly fantastic job.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hats off to everyone involved especially the crane operator. Shades of Shrewsbury bypass back in the eighties. Chaz
Thank you.
A great thing to watch well done to the whole team, what a legacy for every one who will use the line in Devon and Cornwall.
Another fantastic video guys, I saw the structure yesterday up close for the first time and it’s truly spectacular. Great job done by all, and Jack should be rightly proud of the work, and the excellent way that this project has been conducted and communicated.
Top job 👍
Thank you Roger.
Such a fantastic film! Thanks guys (and gals) ❤
Outstanding work to all well crafted and executed by the team great job
Well done Jack and the boys a great piece of engineering can't wait to vist 👍👀
Thank you.
The video of the year missed it last week fell asleep as usual. I watched it close up using the pinch feature on YoTube. How amazing that it fitted perfectly no hitches. Well done Jack and his team and fabulous video by Neil. Just brilliant.
Thank you so much. :-)
Amazing work by all involved!!
That was awesome 😎 to watch. I’m a big crane geek 😅.

I think it's the first time I've seen Jack without a helmet. 😊
When will the bridge be usable?
We don't know a date but it's closer than ever.
Great video, love the music🤗
Brilliant as usual.
Cheers.
Thanks, this was brilliant...
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great job 🎊👏👏👏👏

Amazing well done lads
Thanks 👍
Watching from the usa 🇺🇸
Thank you.
fantastic great drone footage
Glad you enjoyed it.
Awesome
Amazing journey, Greetings from Perth, Western Australia 12.55am
Thanks for watching!
Some nice filming there from the drone.
Thank you.
Watched every one of these from day one
Thank you.
tremendous!
Thank you.
lovely music .. 200% to music selecta ;-))
Brilliant work its looking great fantastic work by Jack and the team
Thank you very much!
Any idea when the new bridge area will open up and the old bridge closes? Would be a great comparison and an opportunity to see the differences looking from one bridge to the other. Great to see how far the work has come along since my last visit to Dawlish earlier this year 👍
Funny thing is nobody has mentioned that some parts of the new wall are failing already. Some expansion seals have washed away and the water can get into the gaps, I hope they fix it as like before it will fail time and time again.
Interesting. Had a tour today. Didn't see any problems.
Great video and a lovely modern station. Have to ask, does Network Rail have a policy that dictates they require just about the most expensive cranes? I see a lot of jobs filmed for NR and the over compensation factor looks massive. Could have lifted that with a 500 tonne machine, with ease.
I was on holiday just down the road in Dawlish while all that was going on. I considered staying up all night to watch, but elected not to! I briefly chatted to one of the engineering team who told me that you were there, so I decided to wait until I got home and then watch the video which shows far more than I would have seen even if I had stated up all night.
Just one question though. When I went to look at the new bridge next day, and again later in the week, there was a puddle on the platform and drips and stains could be seen on the underside of the bridge. Is this normal and was it to be expected? Has it now dried out?
I started my holiday at Dawlish warren when the day it was scheduled to start
Hope you are enjoying yourself.
@CoastCams247 I did enjoyed myself thanks keep up with the good work
the span doesnt sit on much of a ledge but hey great job guys n gals
So this is where the HS2 money for the north and Wales went
Mega.
Thank you.
GO YOU 'R's!!!
By kennaway tunnel what are those plate things covering the sleepers?
I have been watching these from the start great work, but can someone tell me why a 750 ton crane for a 50 ton lift please.
Good job 👍 but I would like to ask a question on the Highways England axle weight limits for the 70 ton crane;
a 14 ton axle limit is enforced for the ‘move to’, but then a short distance away, at Dawlish Warren, you are permitted to partly rebuild it, therefore above the 14 ton axle weight to move it on the local roads, which are likely built to a lesser standard than the primary trunk route ? Particularly noting the tight s-bend into town.
I am confused by our standards.
Trunk roads are the responsibility of Highways England (or whatever they are calling themselves this week), the local roads are down to Devon County Council. Their respective outlooks are probably somewhat different when costs and benefits are weighed up.
When would the bridge be complete and usable great video
Not sure but not long.
@@CoastCams247 cool be amazing to see and to see u near speechless was a surprise
Let's see what happens after the next winter storms.
Surprised that no one appeared to be watching from the windows that overlook the station.
They were Tony.
On jobs like that local residents are sometimes offered alternative accommodation, especially if it's over a couple of days. That happened on a railway bridge I was on in Scotland, also with Bam.
Very interesting and a lot of prep. But it is getting there. I still think the bridge should be covered though, seems a shame to leave passengers exposed to the elements. Any comments,?
The bridge design is down to Network Rail.
Doh 😢
I guess the old bridge will be removed?
What about the rest of the beach side lift tower top section?
More installed tonight. They can only lift the heavy sections on a Saturday night when the trains are not running.
@@CoastCams247 Hi thanks, I presume they ran out of time last weekend , it's a shame because they had a massive crane set up there., now they've got to bring in another large one. That footbridge is a really massive heavy structure in concrete.
They can only do so many lift each Saturday. This is ongoing.
What is the width of the bridge deck?
So what happens to the Night Rivera when these works are in progress?
Almost all of the overnight possessions have been on Saturday nights when the Night Riviera does not run anyway.
Throughout the works, the railway has remained operations almost all of the time - it's only when working or lifting near, over or on the track that line possessions are required, which usually happen on Saturdays. There have been a few additional nights of line closures when there were no trains anyway due to strike action, and then a handful of other closures which necessitated rail-replacement buses.
@@stewartbrodie1720 If someone had not shut the route via Okehampton then you could take longer blocks to do the work faster.
More lifts tonight.
Lifting the steps tonight.
Will they be demolishing the old footbridge,now we have a new one?
No. It will be staying.
All that effect and expense just for a bridge across the tracks? Was it worth it?
If this project had been done in Europe it would have been completed years ago and well under budget, sadly the UK has too many companies mismanaging HSE and making a huge pigs ear of it.
Are you sure those are secured by such narrow beams of concrete, looks like lip service to me. Still, your the engineer.?
Ripping those trees down at night. There could have been birds nesting in there. 😢😢
They were checked for nests.
@@CoastCams247 Great news. In that case I take my comment back. Thank you for replying. Kind regards.
I think checking for nests is a legal requirement. Part of why these projects are so expensive in the UK
Excellent sir . I am also a erection engineer i wish to work with your team 🎉🎉🎉
The music doesn't make look any less of an eyesaw
There's a solution to that: Just don't look at it.
First
:-)
The last thing this planet needs is ''devegging''
It will grow back through the nail and netting. They just need to clear the surface to get the netting down.
The Victoria's would have made that look a thousand times more beautiful looking.
And a million times more labor intensive, so unaffordable in the modern era
All that ugly concrete
Why the over the top dramatic music? Turn it off !
Volume knob?
The music was excellent. Leave it be and more of the same.
Another concrete monstrosity.
Perhaps. But that doesn't diminish the work and effort put into the whole project by the teams involved, and the great work of DBC in enabling us to see it happen on UA-cam.
@@cargy930what amazes me is the people who are moaning about it have the choice NOT to watch..some very hard work has gone into this and all they do is moan 😂
@@MMI5KS Well, it must get quite lonely for them living under their bridge!
@@cargy930 🤣🤣well said
In the words of Mr Grace: You've all done very well. Very well indeed. Carry on.
Thanks Neil, Jack, and all involved,
Thank you.
