We have just been informed of the likely date for refitting the tidal gate to Watchet Harbour Marina.
The gate will be arriving on 3rd June with plans to fit it on the 4th. This will involve extensive operations on the East Pier adjacent to the gateway.
Please be advised that there will be no access to/from the marina on 4th June. This may be extended if any problems arise during the fitting process but we will endeavour to avoid this.
The entire pier will also be closed to persons not involved and approved for the process.
The gate will be fitted and then laid flat on the bottom for approx. 1-2 weeks whilst a new operating system is fitted. Please note this will include fitting a new hydraulic ram onto the wall which means there may be restrictions in
place. The maintenance stop logs will remain in place until the gate is fully commissioned. Please contact the marina office for details of the obstruction.
Throughout the whole process we will only be operating minimal marina services as most of the staff will be involved to some extent. We will however still be undertaking our essential services to ensure the marina remains
operational and safe.
We apologise for any inconvenience but am sure you will join us in hoping the process goes smoothly and that we soon have a functioning gate again.
If you have any problems please don’t hesitate to ask in the office.
Kind regards
