'Colonel' Brady's Groyne is a concrete structure that suffered from years of neglect and was largely destroyed by the effects of repeated storm wave action. This permitted the shingle beach to progress eastward by littoral drift with the consequential threat to reduce water depth in the entrance channel to Folkestone Harbour.

Beckett Rankine Partnership carried out a full design of the new structure, prepared tender documentation and supervised the construction work on site. The repairs to the groyne were constructed largely in mass concrete, which was fixed to the existing structure and poured in the inter-tidal zone.
