Waterfront: Dam Board
The Dam Board structure is an essential piece of quay infrastructure that holds HMS Trincomalee safely in the dock. Its replacement is a marine engineering project.
It is fundamental to the future of both HMS Trincomalee and PS Wingfield Castle, as it is critical to the operations of the Trincomalee drydock. With the two historic vessels in the marina requiring a drydock for current and future maintenance/restoration projects, the drydock and its gate are intrinsically connected to the future of these vessels.
This project includes the logistical element of the safe transport of HMS Trincomalee from her dock to an alternative mooring location.
The current project was commissioned by HBC and NMRN to investigate options for refurbishing and/or replacing the dam board. The preferred option has been selected, following recommendations from specialist engineering consultant Beckett Rankine.
Project Update
Next key steps are to procure additional surveys, design and planning of specialist works. This will establish the programme delivery plan, taking into account the emergency works on the Wingfield Castle, the temporary relocation of HMS Trincomalee, and the carrying out of this work on NMRN property.
