Press Release
Balfour Beatty to protect homes and businesses in Norfolk through £19.5 million coastal protection contracts
28 November 2023

UK

Balfour Beatty today announces its appointment to deliver two coastal defence schemes on behalf of North Norfolk District Council – the Cromer Phase 2 scheme and the Mundesley Coastal Management scheme – with a combined value of £19.5 million. The schemes have been awarded through SCAPE Civil Engineering, a rapid access framework designed to drive collaboration, efficiency, time and cost savings.

The Cromer Phase 2 Scheme will see Balfour Beatty construct a new rock armour revetment on the Norfolk coast on the west of Cromer pier, with 38,000 tonnes of rock placed on the shoreline. As part of the Mundesley Coastal Management Scheme, Balfour Beatty will place 36,000 tonnes of rock on the shoreline, complete remedial works to the existing sea walls as well as refurbish the groynes – perpendicular structures to manage the flow of sediment.

On completion, the schemes will protect 600 local homes and businesses in North Norfolk from flooding and coastal erosion.

As part of its commitment to leaving a lasting, positive legacy in the communities in which it operates, Balfour Beatty will divert 95% of waste from landfill by recycling materials and donating excess timber to community projects and charities
