Jones Bros Tywyn Coastal Defence Project


Background:

Tywyn’s coastal frontage has suffered storm damage in nearly every decade since the 1930s.
Over the last 100 years, the height and width of the beach has also receded. It is estimated that 78 homes in Tywyn are at risk of flooding every year.

The United Kingdom Climate Impacts Programme (UKCIP) and Marine Climate Change Impacts Partnership (MCCIP) predict an increase in storm severity and frequency in coming years.

Studies have estimated the residual life of the current defences is from two to five years.

Coastal defence:

The £6.4m Tywyn Coastal Defence Scheme is backed by £3.8m of Welsh Assembly Government money and £2.6m from the European Regional Development Fund.

It will include:
  • A rock armour breakwater at Warwick Place, with beach nourishment (addition of new beach material)
  • A rock groyne near Neptune Road
  • A rock groyne at Pier Road
  • A rock revetment at Bryn-y-mor
  • Replacement of the groyne field
  • Reconstruction or repair of the slipways and access steps, including the concrete steps along the length of the promenade and the rock revetment near the Warwick Place slipway.

Rock deliveries:

Around 60,000 tonnes of rock will be delivered by sea and road to shore up Tywyn’s sea defences. The majority of this rock will come from nearby Penmaenmawr, the rest will come from France and Norway. Two-thirds of the rock will be delivered by sea. The remainder – up to 20 loads a day – will arrive by road, between the hours of 7am and 7pm.

Further information:

Full information on the Tywyn Coastal Defence Scheme is now available at the dedicated Visitor Information Point, Warwick Place, Tywyn.

There will also be regular updates here at the Jones Bros website. Contracts manager Geraint Thomas can be contacted on 07787 100750.
