Pevensey Sea Defence

In March 2008 Balfour Beatty plc purchased Dean and Dyball, a leading multi-disciplinary contractor based in the South-East of England. Dean and Dyball own a 25% stake in one PFI concession, Pevensey Coastal Defence Ltd (PDCL).
The Pevensey Bay contract is the first Public Private Partnership flood defence scheme to be let in the UK and, as a pathfinder project its success or failure is likely to be significant in future flood defence procurement policy.
Pevensey beach is largely formed of gravel and sand pushed landward from the Channel floor by rising sea levels following the last ice age. Material used to replenish the beach today is also taken from the sea bed and is thus a very close match for the existing beach.
