KITE Projects were tasked to design and supply a sustainable and aesthetically pleasing solution that would yield a suitable design life in the harsh coastal environment.
At KITE Projects, we are seeing an increasing correlation between the need to address the marine and coastal challenges of climate change and coastal erosion, alongside Place-based outcomes that ensure the sustainability of local coast-based communities.
Reviving promenade areas, developing accessible spaces with new architectural planting and amenity terraced seating that contain wave overtopping as flood defences, are now commonplace across our seaside towns in providing locals and tourists with improved amenities.
KITE Projects were tasked to design and supply a sustainable and aesthetically pleasing solution that would yield a suitable design life in the harsh coastal environment, and also comply with the demanding loadings of BS 6180.
A welded stanchion and rail system was used, with a suitable coating to last the relevant design life, combined with heavy wall tube and high-grade steel to meet design loadings.
