ASP helps save Cudgen from erosion

ASP has ensured that surf lifesavers keep their clubhouse at Cudgen by completing major retaining works to combat significant erosion along the northern New South Wales coastline.

The three month project commissioned by the Tweed Shire Council, involved constructing and installing Secant Walls to protect the foreshore and the Cudgen Surf Life Saving Club building from erosion.

Deployed successfully on the Gold Coast, the Tweed and now being installed in major erosion zones around iconic Byron Bay, these walls provide the perfect solution for developers and local government looking to protect foreshores and infrastructure.

On this project, the secant wall (foreground) was also tied back via connecting
anchors to a secondary reinforced concrete footing.

Secant Walls are the ideal retaining solution for challenging sites such as beaches where sand and high water tables make other forms of retaining more difficult or expensive to employ.

The overlapping concrete piles that form a Secant Pile Wall create a water resistant wall which eliminates issues of scouring caused by tides and weather and provides a sound base/foundation to protect buildings and other infrastructure from being undermined.

Secant Pile Walls can also follow landscaping profiles for aesthetically pleasing finishes in public areas and, importantly, the method of installation results in less noise and vibration than the traditional sheet pile method.
