The Parsons Tunnel project in Dawlish, undertaken by Morgan Sindall, is a significant initiative aimed at constructing a protective canopy that connects two tunnels. With an estimated value of £35 million, the project's primary objective is to ensure the safety and preservation of trains and the railway track by mitigating the risk of damage caused by falling rocks. Previous incidents have highlighted the criticality of this endeavour, as the closure of the Devon-Cornwall route results in substantial financial implications.
