The proposed works comprise the repair and reinforcement of existing sea defences at Asset 16E, Eglinton, adjacent to Lough Foyle. The works involve reprofiling the embankment, installation of geotextile, and construction of a new double-layer rock armour revetment to protect the railway corridor from coastal erosion and flooding. Works will be undertaken primarily during night-time railway possessions and tide-dependent periods, using access via the railway, airport lands and foreshore as required.
