The piles and foundation are critical elements for the retaining wall, which will restore the road and protect it from further damage. We have completed installation of 12 out of 15 piles.
We expect to complete the final three pile installations next week and begin timber construction for the retaining wall. Rock anchor testing has been completed to ensure the next phase of work remains on track.
