Summary
An introduction to the scheme to be followed by an on-site visit later this yearLast August, it was announced that works to protect Aberaeron from flooding with a new coastal defence scheme had obtained Welsh Government funding of nearly £27m.
Work on Aberaeron’s near-£32m coastal defence scheme are underway, with the unloading of rock brought from Norway by barge to the town’s South Beach.
The £31.59m scheme is funded through a £26.85m contribution from the Welsh Government’s Coastal Risk Management Programme, together with a £4.74m contribution from Ceredigion County Council. BAM Nutall are the construction contractors.
The scheme includes the construction of a rock breakwater extending out from North Pier, refurbishment and re-building of pier head of South Pier, construction of flood walls, construction of flood gate at Pwll Cam inner harbour and improvements to the existing defences on South Beach.
This webinar is a prelude to a planned site visit in September this year.
