Urban Solutions was contracted to develop coastal protection options for Purangi Road in Flaxmill Bay and consult communities following community opposition to a proposed revetment extension.\u00a0 Urban Solutions worked collaboratively with the council and the ratepayers association to develop Desirable Outcome Statements alongside a tailored solution – a naturalistic, sculpted stone seawall – using proven technology in an innovative way.\u00a0 To vet this approach, we consulted geotechnical, construction, and naturalistic effect experts to ensure a viable, cost-effective design was conceptualized.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span>The proposed seawall mimics the ignimbrite cliffs which flank the site, protect the road and mature pohutukawa trees, and enhances beach access.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>
