A military engineering project of unprecedented size and complexity, we played a significant role in the construction of two artificial port facilities to support the allied forces following the D-Day landings in Normandy.

Sir Robert McAlpine Projects Mulberry Harbours We played a significant role in the construction of Mulberry Harbours, a military engineering project of unprecedented size and complexity. The two artificial port facilities were designed to supply and support the allied forces following the D-Day landings in Normandy. We constructed part of the concrete breakwaters and built 10 of the 80 largest caissons that created Mulberry Harbours.

The breakwaters were formed from a series of 200ft-long floating concrete caissons which were constructed in docks and harbours along the south coast. These were then towed across the Channel and sunk in position to provide secure deep-water port facilities where none existed. Sir Malcolm McAlpine was chairman of the contractor’s committee responsible for the design and supply of the breakwaters.

Eight of the caissons were constructed in East India Dock but before the Wet Basin could be used, it had to be dammed across the dock entrance and dewatered. More than 81,000 tonnes of rubble from bomb-damaged buildings was used to form a bed on which the caissons were built. A further two caissons were part-built on the banks of the Thames at Erith and towed upstream for completion. Almost 100,000 tonnes of reinforced concrete were used in the construction of the caissons.
