The 2012 Olympic Sailing venue in Doset has been completed and the marina has already hosted its first event. The 3,400sq m of land which was a Royal Navy Helicopter base was redeveloped at a cost of £10M and took a year to complete.
The centre has been praised for its enviromental acheivments after a very good rating under the BREEAM enviromental assessment. Three wind turbines will produce 10 percent of the centres power, locally sourced stone was used in the construction as well as employing local subcontractors where possble.
G&H development and construction manager said "Portland Marina is a project that will be showcased to the world in 2012. G&H has been honoured to construct such a high profile, flagship project and is one that Dorset can be proud of.
