Actual site conditions (topography) varied considerably from the bid documents that had been compiled almost ten years prior to the award of the contract. Significant erosion over the years created an imbalance in the earthworks which was originally intentioned to be a balanced site. BMC’s redesigned revetment incorporated a change to the sea wall which bought the site back to balance.
