A Jackson team working on behalf of the EA has been praised after completing more than 100,000 person hours on a major coastal defence scheme without having a safety or environmental accident or incident.
The team is at Stallingborough, near Grimsby along the Humber estuary’s south bank. Almost 90,000t of rock armour has been placed on a 4.5km stretch of sea wall near Stallingborough since the project started in June 2023.
According to Jackson Senior Project manager, Jon Isle, who is overseeing delivery of the Stallingborough 3 scheme, this exemplary safety and environmental record is down to a number of factors.
“I believe we set the scene right at the start by having a tidy, well-presented and safe site,” he said. "Our requirements and expectations have been discussed at induction and briefing sessions, and we’ve had good engagement with the workforce and supply chain, who have all contributed.”

Culture
A culture of continual improvement and reinforcement of Jackson’s ‘Stop, Think, Re-assess’ approach have also helped achieve this success, he said.
Jon added: “Considering the nature and environment of the works, coupled with the constraints and issues that are having to be dealt with, this has been a great performance to date by all involved with the scheme. As a team, we now need to remain focused to maintain this performance during the remaining period of the project.”
Mark Adams, EA Project Board Senior User, praised the team. An e-mail he sent read: “This is a great achievement, well done in reaching this milestone. These matters shouldn’t be taken for granted and all your efforts in managing the risks involved are applauded.”
