A method of constructing a stabilised earth structure under water comprises lowering a row of base units on to a site under water, lowering into a position immediately above said base units facing units to which are attached in a row elongate flexible reinforcements for stabilising the earth, the facing units being guided during lowering by rigid guide members connected to the base units, and backfilling the base and facing units with earth to cover the reinforcements. Each base unit comprises an elongate box and fluid concrete is introduced into the elongate box and allowed to harden to support the respective facing unit with its lower edge horizontal even if the base unit rests on a slope. Each guide member is connected to a respective elongate box so as to be adjustable to a vertical orientation. |
