Folkestone-Dover progress report. - Posted: June 21, 2016 - 3:36 PM Quote and reply
More than 500 cubic metres of concrete was poured into place over the weekend (18-19 June), in a 15 hour continuous operation involving a fleet of 13 concrete vehicles from Kent supplier Brett concrete, using their plants at Dover and Ramsgate.

That’s almost enough concrete to fill Dover Leisure Centre’s swimming pool twice over.(Wow!)

The railway along the beach at Dover has been closed since Christmas 2015. Network Rail is creating a new, 235m long viaduct that will sit on 134 piles – steel and concrete columns – of which more than 100 have been completed so far.
NR 21.06.16
