Saving the Fort

Breakwater have since early 2020 enjoyed documenting an exciting and unique project on the edge of Plymouth Sound, our first serious documentary project as an independent broadcast production company.

​

The historic Fort Bovisand needs rebuilding, but before that the cliffs on the approach road had to be reinforced and made safe. 

 

Eventually more than 80 high calibre properties will be created on the vast site, plus a visitor centre and leisure facilities. More details on that can be found on www.bovisandharbour.com.

​

But first the saving of the cliff road. Seven months of specialist work starting with drilling, pinning and matting of two large gullies. The group behind the project led by Greg Dyke the former Director General of the BBC knew this first complex task was the key to saving this landmark that stood guard over the coast of Devon and Cornwall.
