It is very interesting to see where all the concrete sections are made, I have just one question: Where does the reinforcing come from??, It's great seeing it all come together, 👍👍
Very Good and informative, but there is one thing that I can.t understand is that the planners have allowed an open walkway between the lifts. Disabled people in wheelchairs will get wet and cold, and the little canopy over the lifts are facing the strong prevailing winds and rain. Rain will more than likely drive into the lifts . Sorry to be negative but as a disabled person, this bothers me, and the whole externalness of the structure.
I would like to ask Jack a question. Not related but as interesting. Jack you know the Tower Cranes we see around our towns and cities? Are they remote controlled? I never see a person up there
Amazin'. 😃 We're so used to just seeing the bits and pieces turning up, on time, as required. So I'd never really thought about the manufacture and logistics involved. But when you consider how numerous and complicated the precast parts for the Dawlish operation are, it's incredible to learn that Shay is also juggling with over 50 other projects at the same time! I'm suitably impressed.
Dawlish beach has a lot of stone mixed with sand, during storms this must create a powerful ablation force. The old granite stones used were heavily rounded from storms. Concrete is not as hard as granite, how long will the surfaces last? I have never understood why the breakers are not kept maintained, either.
Very enlightening to see how the precast units are made! Excellent film production! Looking forward to part two.
Thank you Rocket five.
Brill video and loved how Jack was geeking out over the rebar machines.
Cool film looking forward to part 2 well done
Thank you David.
Fabulous job the hole job you have done looks fantastic thanks for showing it all well done to you all.
Brilliant stuff. Thanks very much.
Thanks Ian.
Fantastic information cannot wait for the next clip Thank You guys
Thanks Paul.
Great video, it's interesting to see how much work goes into building the precast sections
Cheers Nigel.
Very interesting thank you.
Thanks Karen.
Looking forward to seeing that 😊
I hope you enjoyed it Nina.

Indeed @Cargy930. I'm still struggling to get my head around it. Remarkably impressive work from Shay Murtagh.
@@CoastCams247 I forgot to say that it was a superb video too! Well done.
Wil the beach be done in 3 weeks? Since I am going to devon in 3 weeks.
Were does the rebar come from?
You shorten Shay Murtagh Precast to "Shays" - very strange. The correct shortening is to "Murtaghs"

The breakers are maintained by Teignbridge and the new sea wall is designed to last 100 years.
@@CoastCams247 Last time I was in Dawlish the breakers were in great disrepair, has that all changed now?
Just drill a square hole
Are we unable to make them in our own country?
Not in such an environmentally friendly way, these guys source their own raw material on site
I believe there are facilities for this in Britain, but a lot of them are likely engaged with other projects at the moment…
