Work involves extensive sheet piling and placing of rock armour. The contract is expected to take 30 months.
Client for the West Rhyl Coastal defence scheme is Denbighshire County Council.
Galliford Try will refurbish the existing training wall by encasing it with rock armour along its 800m length.
The existing harbour wall will be stabilised and refurbished by placing sheet piling to create a toe for the rock armour revetment.
A sheet piled toe will also be installed to support precast concrete stepped sections creating a promenade facility for tourists as well as providing protection from breach and overtopping.
The whole project will see 70,000 tonnes of rock armour placed. Piling works total:
- 200m of 14m long piles to form new harbour wall and associated anchors,
- 430m of 11 m long piles as toe to rock revetment,
- 450m of precast stepped revetment with associated toe piles.
