The purpose of this contract was to prevent the seaward wall of a section of this historic castle falling 70 feet into the sea. As you can see from the pictures taken before work commenced, the wall was extremely unstable.

The opinion of the contractors previously asked to price the work was that the wall was too far gone to be saved, and the danger to the men on site would be too great to allow them to proceed in any case.

BCM Steeplejacks were able to provide the necessary access and building expertise to complete the job safely, and to a high standard.

This is how the structure looked before rebuilding commenced.
This shot shows more clearly the huge amount of masonry that is resting on the weak corner pillar.
