Lancashire sea defences to be rebuilt in £100m scheme

2 Jan 12 Contractors are being sought to undertake emergency work to shore up failing sea defences on the Lancashire coast.

Estimated cost of the Anchorsholme and Rossall coast protection works is in the range of £70m to £100m, excluding VAT.

The neighbouring borough councils of Wyre and Blackpool are jointly procuring contractors for the two schemes.

Wyre’s Rossall coastal defence scheme in Fleetwood will involve the reconstruction of a 1.9km length of coastal defences of potentially rock armour or concrete seawall (both pre-cast and in-situ), potential beach re-charge and landscaping details. The existing coastal defences here (pictured) have been assessed as having an estimated lifespan of less than five years.

At Anchorsholme, Blackpool’s engineers have determined that the existing seawall is in a progressive mode of failure. The new scheme will involve the reconstruction of a 1km length of coastal defences in the form of a concrete seawall / promenade (both precast and in-situ) with landscaping details.
