Interesting info there on the Swansea project,which is the small child in this lagoon family,the Bridgewater project is a whopper.
As i mentioned earlier the report on Radio Wales[not the Miner`s Arms]lol.stated that this company had acquired a quarry in Cornwall for its stone,which the above info said would be delivered by sea,
Whether the other projects would also be acquiring the stone from this quarry as well is not clear,but the amount of stone needed for the Swansea project alone was estimated at near on 200,000,000 by an engineer who had previously worked on a local break water ,that is some big chunk out of Cornwall without the other projects . |
The Bridgwater bay one is bigger, to the tune of about ten times, in terms of production, but I'm not sure how much more structure is needed, because the Swansea one is essentially a five mile long loop, but the Bridgwater one links two corners of land, perhaps 12-15 miles apart. So, yes, much more stone, but much, much more electricity. And it'll stop Bridgwater flooding. Still,can't have everything. |
