SUMMARY:The Carnarvon Fascine - PIANC WA Technical Seminar & networking\, 7 Nov 2024 Fremantle
DESCRIPTION:Join the WA PIANC Chapter event and hear about this project from three angles: the client\, consultant and contractor. \nFollowed by drinks and canapes provided by our generous sponsors BMT and Maritime Constructions. \nThe Carnarvon Fascine serves as a crucial entryway for tourism in the Gascoyne region and has faced some complex coastal transformations over the past 5-10 years. \nFollowing the deterioration of the Fascine entrance channel in 2017\, coastal and environmental reconstruction works have been undertaken to reinstate the entrance channel and dune system.
