I hope BAM and other civil engineering companies take note of how popular this is - the public enjoys seeing what's happening on your projects and being able to follow progress. Show us more, please.
My congratulations to Dawlish, here from são paulo - Brasil, about fantastic wall against sea.
Congratulations also to Mr. David Cameron, who worked hard to save the agreable city in 2014.
I see Dawlish every day live in youtube.
Wonderful job! Strong, clean, functional and just a wonderful place for families to come and safely enjoy the beach area. Well done all the lads and lassies involved 🙏👏
Finally getting a good sea wall, that’s walkable and stable- my family was majorly effected by the storm in 2015, and I’ve seen the progress on this wall everyday. Its truly beautiful ❤
If only HS2 videos could be like this! Excellent work. As a geography teacher I've enjoyed watching it's progress. My classes think it's as dull as dishwater. But what do they know!
Awesome work guys, have loved following this massive engineering project, superb work from all the team !👏
Yay!!! ❤ Can't wait to see it
I was intrigued to see how much work had gone on since the bad storm in 2014(?). It looks really good, takes me back as in the mid50s when I was a child we stayed at a caravan in Dawlish Warren and used to walk along to Dawlish past the railway, steam trains in those days.
I have been watching this from Castlemaine, Victoria, Australia for quite a while. My family are from Cornwall and Devon originally and I have always had a deep love for those 2 counties, even before I knew of the family connection. And your stunning weather is making me jealous while it is chilly and cloudy here. Thank you for having this on, it’s been fascinating.
the music at the end was spectacular
Amazing work by all…looks superb..I hope that it’s respected and looked after and that the powers that be consider repainting the old iron railway bridge adjacent to the link bridge….thanks again for your efforts in producing these informative videos 👍
Been watching from Melbourne Australia since this started, you guys have done a ripper job. So different from when I was there as a kid in the 50’s n 60’s.
I so hope the graffiti idiots don’t get stuck into it.
Thank you for showing this. I'm disabled and live a long way from Dawlish, so I can't be there for the opening. But I've followed news from Dawlish since the storm hit and the build updates almost since the channel was launched. I can't say enough how beautiful the seawall is.
Excellent video as always, loved following the story. Best wishes to you and Jack
Really enjoyed following all the hard work you lads have done,,the only eyesore is the rail bridge ..will be visiting later this year 👍👍
Amazing. Thanks for the walk. Can't wait to visit.
Give the rail bridge a lick of paint !
Excellent job well done to all
The videos are a pleasure. Thanks. -Dearly would love to visit. Being over 80 years old, its probably not going to happen when I would need to travel from the Great Lakes in the USA. It is hard for an old sailor to be land-locked.
Well done 👍
Wonderful, thanks very much gents
Fantastic well done to all involved getting to the end of this stage more to follow 👍🙂
thank you one and all 👍
Fantastic can't to walk along the new sea wall well done again Jack and the team you have done a fantastic job
The last 30 second view is just how I remember the town centre of my visit in 2021 and seeing some works in progress from the station platform and wondering what was going on. My photo looks a lot different to what I've seen there today. I wish I could visit again this summer to walk along the promenade. Well done to all involved over the past 3-4 years.
Thanks Leslie.
Well done to all concerned, it is a fantastic job, when you think as to how it looked in 2014 after the storm, all the people who have been involved in this work should be well rewarded, and of course they should be proud of them selves for all the hard work put in.
Awesome job, can't wait to visit and enjoy it in person 👌👏👏👏
Brilliant!! Will be down to see for ourselves in a week or two!!! Train from North Devon!!
Awesome work, can't wait to see it
Looks fantastic. Hope the railway bridge is going to be painted too
Cracking Job by all concerned.
That’s cool and big.😮
Brilliant enjoyed watching all the complex and fascinating work... Jack your knowledge is unbelievable .. fantastic camera work from Beach cam man ... hope to revisit one day and see all the incredible engineering... well done to you all..👋👋
What great piece engineering now open for all to enjoy glorious walk along the walkway. Can't wait visit in July especially weather like today. Well done boys in orange. 👏👏
Wonderful work - brilliant
Fantastic new wall, beautiful job.
E there in a couple of weeks to check it out. Hard to believe what it used to look like. Hope it is kept clear of stones and pebbles though. Great job by all, hope they have other work to go to. 😊
Good bit of work to protect the rail track. Walked along the new wall path and found it like a CONCRETE JUNGLE.
Still we can’t have everything.
Looks amazing...I will see it for myself breifly when I pass through Dawlish on the train on my way to Cornwall in a fortnight 😊...
Really great seeing this almost ready for the public.
I look forward to you doing a video about the next stage I know you normally go out and about, but is there any chance that you and Jack could do a video where you go through a slideshow and show us the designs of the different sections of the seawall and have Jack let us know what's happening next and what is still being planned.
I'd love to know if the sea platform machine will need to return to drop in curved walls that protect the railway line to the east of Dawlish. I'd also like to know if the sea defence project is going to be able to extend the walkiing routes further along the line, at all.
21.19 soo looking forward to our next visit .keep up the good work.
Good work.
Fair play great job
Step for step well done
Greetings from Perth, Western Australia, thank you very much for all the videos, progress and process, camera work and it looks like a save Environment now for what it was before, an excellent achievement to all of you, will there be any shelters around the seating areas ?
I was over from Canada in the summer and was able to walk from Boat Cove down to the new link bridge (and back, you couldn't get access to the town), and it looked fabulous. I spent the first seven years of my life in Dawlish, and visited most weekends for years after that, so I know what it used to be like. My only miss will be the narrow part of the passage between the sea wall and the little ice cream place, just by the main breakwater. It was always busy, hot and smelled of beach food, and was crazily noisy when a train passed six feet above your head.
Very impressive, and a lot of thought, planning and hard work went into this. But will we still be able to see waves crashing over the trains and station? That was a great treat of my childhood (when steam locomotives weren't affected by seawater 😂) to be in a train on a windy day at high tide!
How Beautiful 😃😃😃😃😃😃🌸🌸🌸🌸
Another great Video Neil 👍👍👍
Wow, this is fantastic. Pozdrawiam❤
I can make it today!
I have lived in Dawlish, and nearby for over 25 years, and I didn’t even know it was called Pocket Park either 😂
Well done to the orange army on a job well done. I look forward to sampling your work when I visit for my annual trip to the Blenheim in October. A certain Mr I. K Brunel will be looking down and nodding his approval. Well done once again and thank you.
Great stuff! Looking forward to seeing it all in person some time. At coastguards, will they use paint to improve the visibility of the step edges? Otherwise they are well camouflaged, all in stone.
Whoop whoop
What is being done about the rust on the railway track bridge at 0:23 etc.? Will that be treated and repainted?
Good heavens, a job done well with all the necessary funding to do it properly! A Tory MP or her friends must own coastal property there!
Well done Edmund Nuttal BAM
They have carried out a fantastic job with the new construction, but it’s let down by the rusty bridge. It would look great if it had been painted in GWR colours.
Is the railway bridge getting a coat of paint?
The boathouse should never have been allowed to be demolished. That could easily have been turned into a retail unit to replace the one lost at the Marine Parade end.
Is the old ww2 sea mine there. i remember is as a boy when we came to Granny;s on holiday?
It is certainly different to when I went to school there 74years ago mr gempton I think was name of headmaster mr vigorous I think was sports master used to take us down to the beach for swimming those were the days
Someone needs to sweep the side of those walls
They could have painted the railway bridge
Jack,curious who & when will the railway bridge painted looks rusty so I imagine it’s part of the plan
In the end the sea lost the war.
You shorten Shay Murtagh Precast to "Shays" - very strange. The correct shortening is to "Murtaghs". If it was John Smith Precast you would shorten it to Smiths and not to Johns.
Never under-estimate the power of the sea. There are parts of this rebuild that look weak.
Penzance promenade has been repaired a few times, after being fortified over the years, but Mother Nature still inflicts extensive damage from time to time. Time will tell whether Dawlish stands the test.
Are there any plans to paint that rusty old train bridge. It’s the only thing that stands out that needs work on it.
This has been answered a thousand times on other videos. There are no plans to paint the bridge at this time.
Great shame there's no lighting along the wall
They will do that once it's complete.
I know it's practical but what an eye sore it is .concrete everywhere.
There’re all sitting on their backsides ? 😂
They deserve it. 🙂
So Bland and beige, hardly any detail for interest. Will there be plants and more seating?
I think you'll find it is GREY, not beige! There is more seating than ever there was, and what plants do you suggest that would be able to withstand the sea that could be planted in the space available?
Wake up and get real!!
@@sgthree You don't need to be rude.
@@Pianoguy32 when silly statements like this are made, it is hard to be anything but truthful.
Some people's expectations seem to be in cloud cuckoo land. If you followed the construction videos, and understood the local area, you'd know the reasons behind the design being like it is.
@@sgthree Truthful yes, rude no!
@@sgthree You're just a rude person. having expectation of visual interest is not 'cloud cuckoo land'. Especially when so much is spent on these projects.
Hope the workers are not paid for sitting around sunning themselves.
Amazin' Well done to everyone involved.
A great job that is marred by a rusty rail bridge. Didn't the budget stretch to new paint?🦘🐨
Dawlish Town Council is pushing for the bridge to be dealt with.
@@CoastCams247 Thats a pretty lame excuse for a multimillion Pound civil engineering project that isn't complete. Its opened with puffed chests and congratulations all round, while showing the world that the project proudly displays a rust bucket bridge that needs cleaning and re-painting. Why would the Town Council allow commencement of the project if they didn't gain assurances that this eyesore would be rectified. Shame on Dawlish Town Council for allowing this farce to happen.🐨🦘
