The presentation will give an overview of the materials
we use in hydraulic engineering including Lean Sand
Asphalt, Open Stone Asphalt & Bituminous Grout, and
will show several case studies highlighting the various
applications covering dams, rivers, flood storage
structures, estuaries, coastlines and ports. I will also
describe the work & the challenges faced on the
Canvey Island Southern Shoreline project which was
completed in 2025 using over 88,000 tonnes of asphalt.
