Four-Tees Engineers Ltd’s Post

🐦 Building a Brighter Future for Kittiwakes! 🐦 We're thrilled to share the remarkable work Four Tees Engineers (FTE) contributed to the creation of artificial nesting structures (ANS) for vulnerable kittiwakes! In collaboration with Red7Marine and Ørsted, FTE transformed the original design to optimise the build process and ensure successful installation off the East Suffolk coast. Three of these innovative structures were strategically placed near Minsmere Nature Reserve and South Beach, Lowestoft, approximately 1 km offshore. By drawing on their experience in challenging environments like Antarctica, FTE implemented a modular kit approach that minimised on-site assembly and streamlined transportation. Their detailed improvements to design, materials, and coatings enhanced the resilience of the structures and reduced long-term maintenance costs. This groundbreaking project, the first of its kind in the industry, demonstrates the power of collaborative engineering to protect precious species and support a healthier marine ecosystem.
