- After over two years of building phase two of the Dawlish sea wall, it's now very near to completion. This week we hit an incredible milestone when the heavy excavators were removed from the site.
I spent three days filming while KMS Terramare was removing the excavators. The last time I saw Julian was when he delivered them.

Neil Thanks mate. Beautifully recorded, masterly edited with just the right balance of music to create the dramatic effect. Thanks for the wonderful experience of seeing this seawall being created from a distant land. The team at Bam Nuttal have done Dawlish proud. My thanks too to Jack for his wonderful description of the construction events as they took place.
Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you.
A bit of a shock to realize I've been watching this for 3 years. Thanks for the coverage of the construction. Love the other cameras also 👍🇨🇦
My pleasure!
Well done to all. I'm looking forward to walking the new sea wall and the bridge.
Just as extraordinary as the Seawall, itself, has been the access and information that the Updates have given us!! For people who enjoy engineering, trains, and England, the Updates have been an absolute treat!! Something for the eyes as well as the mind.
Thanks for that!
Great to see the progress and how the eel ramp looks! Well done to all!
Thank you! 👍
Beautifully filmed, well done and thank you!
Amazing video thank you Dawlish Beach Cams and everyone else concerned 👍🙂
So many people around the world have been enjoying your videos Neil. We living in Britain are fortunate to visit Dawlish if we so wish and I feel for the lady in Australia who will probably never be able to walk the sea wall.
Nice touch to see an HST arrive just as the last piece of wall dropped into place. All the best from High Peak to yourself and Jack. It will be back to the weekly walks soon hopefully. 😊
Neil, thanks very much for all your coverage, greetings from Perth, Western Australia and I hope the ocean will not be able to do so much damage again
A fitting finale to your coverage of this massive project over the last two years. And noted well how quickly you produced this event after it occurred. Thank you Neil.
What an excellent video Neil, and the sea wall etc an great job by BAM .
Great video Neil, can't believe the timespan of this project & so well recorded too. I really must get down that way & see it this year
Well done all & thank you 👍
Thank You BCM, You have created a Wonderful Historical Document.
Glad you enjoyed it!
And a masterpiece of a video to mark the occasion. Thanks Neil, and well done!
❤Dawlish.
Well done, Great engineering and construction, you’ve done the people of Dawlish proud.
We hope this is not the last film of the sea wall, I felt quite emotional watching this one!😊
Thank you Neil, you have given us a lovely run down of all progress being made in Dawlish. Also thank you to Bam Nuttall for the fantastic work they have done. Of course not forgetting Network Rail. Wonderful job all. Look forward to seeing it very soon on next visit to Dawlish. Hope Jack is enjoying his holidays and a big thank you must also to to Jack.
You are very welcome. :-)
I have watched all the videos from the start. Absolutely brilliant. Thanks Neil for the videos and Jack and the team for construction of an amazing new sea wall. I live in Australia and would love to visit Dawlish just to see this project. I have a number of engineers in my family background and have always had an interest in things like this. A great big thumbs up.
Glad you like them Melanie!
I'm going to miss these videos, really enjoyed seeing this site develop over the last 30 months...
There's still a while left to go, the project isn't set to finish until summer 2023 I think
Very well done guys, a massive engineering feat, dealing with the weather and tides, hopefully one more film of the complete job 👍
I will be making a full length sea wall film but it will take some time.
Excellent documentation of the construction Neil. I've watched every bit of it from the beginning. As a child of 1970s Dawlish I now plan to visit it in May 2023, the 50th anniversary of our family's emigration to Australia. Look forward to seeing this 'in the flesh' , and visiting all my childhood haunts.
Brilliant Trevor. :-)
Great video Neil. Can’t wait to be back down in July and see the fantastic work they have done. Dawlish and the Warren hold a special place in my heart.
Thanks Gary. :-)
Just learned about this the other day on my rail engineer course , now I'm hooked
Brilliant, i used to work on the railways, but i drove trains. Just enough info to explain exactly whats going on without waffling. Fascinating to learn the facts, whoever was in charge of logistics did a fantastic job.cheers.
The Bam Nuttal and Network rail, have done an amazing job.
Thanks for explaining and showing the sequence of Terramere's comings and goings and the excavators being removed from Dawlish beach. I have certainly missed their activities since they have gone. Thanks Neil!
Our pleasure!
Yes thanks Neil & bam Nuttal what a fantastic job you have all done & thanks for all the vids and coverage over the last 3 years its been an honour just to follow it on you tube
well done everyone 🤏
Thank you kindly Syd.
Great video thanks Neil... really good to see the action so close up. Well done Jack and the Orange Army - a historic achievement
Thanks Nigel
Neil, one word BRILLIANT!
Thank you Keith.
Walked along there last Sunday, nice video cheers
As I've mentioned before I am amazed at the planning which has gone into repairing the storm damage and improving on what was there before. I'm also amazed at the precision with which these huge machines can be operated. Thanks!
You and me both!
Excellent recording of a historical event for future generations to see. We’ll done Neil!
Thank you Terry.
Thank you for all of your excellent Videos, I have been watching this project since March 2022. As a pensioner with some time on my hands, I was able to watched every day. I have found this phase of reconstruction of the Dawlish seawall very educational and interesting. Thank you to all at Dawlish and Bam Nuttall. Stephen Roberts Wallasey Wirral, Nr. Liverpool, Merseyside.
Excellent! Glad you enjoyed it.
Neil fantastic filming of the the final wall close off what an achievement Brunel is watching and would be very pleased
Thanks, Neil and the Bam team a historic finish to the major sea wall defense to Dawlish and a perfect video record of it...
Thanks Stephen.
What a brilliant series of videos,well done,and thank you,particularly interesting to me because my home town of burnham on sea suffered in bad storm of Dec 1981,and had a new sea defence built,which is still standing proud and defending our town.
Thank you so much. :-)
Brilliant video and your chronicling of this project is an important piece of the legacy of the build and a wonderful record of how the new wall was built.
Thank you Andrew.
Great watch thanks and good to see the Eel Ramp.
Glad you enjoyed it. This was the first time I saw it too. :-)
Fab video. Well done. Must come and see it in the summer!
Please do!
Absolutely fantastic job n I love seeing your video updates everytime to, wish I could come down with u when u go for last time please.. keep up the fantastic work x
Cheers Steve.
Awesome team wonderful job can't wait to sit down there in the summer!
Us too!
What a brilliant video! When our children were young we used to holiday in Dawlish every year - not been back for over 25 years now though. I'd unfortunately missed your earlier videos so I'm going to have to play a bit of catch up!
Brilliant! Good wishes for Dawlish, from Watchet.👍✌️👋
A Thing of Beauty, and Oh my God what a feat of Engineering, Makes you proud to be British, and Yes, i will be one of those visitor's next year, brilliant video's great updates, Finally TH-cam has a Series of Video's worth watching,Well done to everyone involved.
Thank you. :-)
A great video, very professional - many thanks for posting it.
Glad you enjoyed it Desmond!
What a good job to all you worked on this can't wait to see lt in the spring 👏 😀
Coming back from a holiday last October, we stayed in Dawlish and enjoyed the works on the seawall. Very good work, and a fitting homage to it's weathered past.
Many thanks!
Historic moment. These lads were out in all weathers protecting homes, shops and much much more. People can sleep safe in their beds now.
Thanks guys.
Thank you Fred.
Hi BCM! Loved the intro explanation! - great idea 👍
Awesome, thank you!
Fantastic footage!
Glad to see the Great Wall of Dawlish is nearly finished.
We can't wait to walk it.
Fantastic achievement well worth a visit
Really good video and a pleasure to watch the skill of all involved 👍 👏👏👏
Glad you enjoyed it
VERY VERY GOOD 👍 THANK YOU TONE
Thank you too!
Job well done and recorded over time....
Great vids. Will be there to see it this summer
I hope you enjoy Dawlish.
Neil I forgot to say that in Canberra, where I live, we have black swans on Lake Burley Griffin.
Thanks Neil a great video to complete this part, but what I would like to know is what happened to the 20t counter balance that was removed from the 75t machine.
It was removed by road. :-)
Excellent video thanks 👍
Glad you enjoyed it
@@CoastCams247 sorry to keep asking, but with all this material, will you be putting it together from start to finish for a tv series for one of the big TV stations to pick it up, as I'm sure many many people would be very interested? Regards Alex
@@westyham1 yes but it will take a few months to make.
@@CoastCams247 great thank you,
Fantastic work! Any chance we could see a camera or drone where the work is going on by the tunnel.
Soon. I'm waiting for a new drone. I've past my test to fly larger drones. We can only publish onsite footage to VIPs. Network Rail won't allow it to be public. We filmed one last November.
Yet again an excellent video of a great project, well done. Just one query where did the counter weight go? Could we now see progress on the rock fall tunnel further along the line please.
It was removed by road. I have already made a video over by Parsons tunnel but it is for VIPs only. We are not allowed to publicise onsite over there. I also have a new drone coming soon that will zoom in from a distance and get footage without flying near the railway.
Thank you for taking the trouble to reply, good luck with the new drone, looking forward to the results. Been watching since the walking dig arrived, also the swans.
Am I the only person who cried? Brilliant.
At the end? Me too.
Excellent music...
Thank you brilliant vlog. I have one question, what happened to the 20 ton weight removed from the large excavator?
Hi David. It was removed by road and taken to the Bam Nuttall compound on Teignmouth Road.
@@CoastCams247 Thank you.
Last piece going in .. I was thinking ..please fit ..please fit !
Beautiful final dance of the dinosaurs. Brunel must be cheering from on high to see his masterpiece reinvented. Thank you for enlightening me with modern engineering. I am going to miss you. I hope Dawlish prospers from the inquisitive incomers after the inevitable disruption to their lives. 👏👏👏
Thank you very much Gillian. :-)
How did the 20 tonne weight get off the beach once removed? With the 20 tonne excavator on the landing craft or by road.
Road Tony.
Great filming and commentary well done. It's like a BBC countryfile segment
Better.
Thank you.
How was the counterweight for the 70 ton excavator removed?
You can see them removing it in the the video.
Listen i mean really well done Bam Nutall 👏 excellent work i mean 👍 Bravo big profies.
Thank you kindly.
What happened to the 20 ton counterweight off the 70 ton machine?
It was removed by road and taken to the Bam Nuttall compound on Teignmouth Road.
Where did the excavators park when not in use or did they just get wet from the sea?
Hi Dan, They were brought up on to the sea wall next to the viaduct. It was a tight fit but they squeezed them in.
I'm definitely going to this beach again I missed it
Please do!
This is a big milestone but a really sad one to go with it to see the machines gone now and to see work getting to the end in the next couple of months so well done to all involved
So what happened to the huge weight taken off the 70ton escorlator?
It was removed by road and taken to the Bam Nuttall compound on Teignmouth Road.
AWESOME !!!!!!
So did they forget the 20 tonne of ballast or did we just not see that go?
It went by road.
Will it be completely done in May?
We don't have any dates yet but the beach and viaduct underpass should be opening soon. The sea wall parallel to the station will be in the summer at some time as they are installing a new bridge and lift. Here's our latest tour. th-cam.com/video/o6_6IE7whGk/w-d-xo.html
Is the music hans zimmer?
Songs by Howard Harper-Barnes, Christoffer Moe Ditlevsen, Hampus Naeselius and Edgar Hopp licensed through Epidemic Sound
ps can you let me know what the overun cost and the original time forecasts where ??
I don't know this information. Please contact Network Rail.
Swans are nesting a tad early.
Those hard hats would be useful if the chains snapped....
I wanted to see the ferry being floated by the tide with the excavator on it.
godawful music!
Overkill. A concrete monstrosity, which unlike Victorian engneering, has no artistic input. Purely functonal. like a sewage farm. It's actually disgraceful how ugly the beach at Dawlish now looks.
Again with the music. I am half expecting Godzilla to emerge from the sea to destroy the town, or Putin to appear on the horizon with the full Russian naval fleet, with Tom Cruise in a helicopter gun ship to come and save the world before being reunited with his long lost daughter.
Far too dramatic!
I had to watch this otherwise great video on 'mute'.
You won't like our next video, then. I'm afraid a lot of them will involve more music, especially my adventures with Celestey. Luckily there are volume buttons.
@@CoastCams247 Music in principal is not the problem, it just sets the wrong tone. Something more relaxing and less dramatic would be far more watchable.
It is a shame because otherwise your work is excellent.
@@sgthree I thought the music was excellent....shades of Elgar/Walton to go with the dramatic and stunning drone footage of a great English engineering project. I am sure IKB would be doffing his top hat and handing out cigars all round to the workers who toiled so professionally from day 1.
@@philipbaldwin8200 I think we shall agree to disagree on this.
Hope there will be more construction to see, all of this has become a part of the family, has always been good to watch, and when we stayed in Dawlish, to see,
Thankyou Neil
We have plans for the other phases.
This is like the excavator version of the Chicken, Fox and Grain Riddle, but where only one excavator fits into the boat, at a time. 🏗😉
I'm confused about one thing. What happened to the 20 ton counterweight, taken off of the 70 ton crane?
Did it go out with the 20 ton crane? Or did it slide underneath the railway bridge?
It went by road. 🙂
I've never made a secret of the fact that I consider this project to be ugly. But it is, nevertheless, an incredible piece of vital engineering, and no-one can deny that it was aboslutely necessary.
Watching the BAM Nuttall guys out there, grafting in all sorts of tides and weather conditions, has been absolutely fascinating - especially when you realise that those conditions are literally "just another day at the office" for this hard-working and highly-skilled team.
Well done to all, and many thanks to DBC for making it so easy to watch from my living room.
What happened to the 20 ton counterweight?
It left via road.
@@CoastCams247 Thank you - I should have guessed!
