Coastal & Marine Infrastructure

Coastal & Flood Protection

Award-winning Jones Bros has developed considerable expertise in managing and carrying out coastal and flood protection work.

These include a project to shore up the sea defences in a busy seaside resort, where we played a vital role in the design of the scheme and, to be as environmentally friendly as possible, we transported the bulk of the rock by sea.

Jones Bros also received well-deserved recognition for establishing and maintaining excellent community relations with residents affected by the works.

We are skilled at producing and handling rock armour and core materials required for coastal defences to British and international standards.

In addition, we carry out beach nourishment and management, including recycling of shingle or sand, as well as improving aspects such as street lighting, seating, and landscaping to make areas more user friendly.

One of our multi-million-pound projects involved the delivery of shore side improvements as part of a larger North Wales coastal defence scheme. We were responsible for procuring and delivering 150,000 tonnes of rock, as well as concrete structures and installation of new beach access steps.

Marine infrastructure

Jones Bros has managed and built substantial port and marina facilities.

Successful projects have included works at Holyhead Port, a major ferry hub in Anglesey, to improve safety and efficiency on the site.

Strict environmental management and plant maintenance procedures are a given when carrying out these schemes.

Our civil engineering expertise covers every aspect of marine construction projects, from on and offshore land remediation work and the construction of rock breakwater, to the completion of quay facilities.
