Jones Bros Civil Engineering Ltd was the successful contractor.  They programmed the work over 8 days by using 11 dumpers.

The work was entirely dependent on tidal conditions and favourable weather but except for the first two days, the circumstances were very favourable, and the work was completed within the contractors’ programme.

YGC carried out a letter drop to notify some Pwllheli residents and apologised in advance for any inconvenience caused by the heavy vehicles that passed along South Beach, Pwllheli.

The work is critically important for the conservation of the dunes and for protecting Pwllheli from flooding from the sea.
