Significant progress continues on the Strand seawall upgrade project, a critical infrastructure initiative that will strengthen coastal protection and enhance the popular promenade area.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Construction teams are actively engaged in bulk excavations, foundation casting, and the strategic positioning of large pre-cast concrete wall units, keeping the project on schedule for completion in November next year.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These specially engineered L-shaped concrete units have been prefabricated to withstand the harsh coastal environment, meeting rigorous quality standards to ensure their resilience and longevity against marine conditions.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We are looking forward to opening this new portion of the promenade along Strand Beach,” said Eddie Andrews, deputy mayor and Mayoral Committee member for Spatial Planning and Environment. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Once finished it will look like the already-completed seawall and promenade area, which has become a vibrant attraction for all.” \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Andrews cautioned that while on-site work was progressing smoothly the project still has “a number of months” ahead. He also highlighted recent revisions to traffic-management arrangements designed to improve flow and efficiency, and minimise disruption to daily life in the area. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We thank residents and visitors for their patience with the disruptions and temporary closure of areas,” he said. “We appreciate the support and positive feedback, which further motivates our project teams.”\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traffic-management arrangements will soon be extended eastward as the project advances. Road users and pedestrians are urged to remain vigilant and comply with all signage and instructions from flag persons. Pedestrians and cyclists will continue to be guided by clear detour signs around work zones to ensure their safe passage along alternative routes.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once a section of the large L-shape wall units is securely in place, the next crucial step involves reinstating the beach and backfilling on the land side. This will be followed by the installation of new services on the landward side of the newly constructed seawall.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Subsequently, the project team will begin placing the curved cope units on top of the wall units and paving the promenade. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A significant aspect of this upgrade is the relocation of several existing sewer services, currently vulnerable to damage as they are buried directly under the beach. The new services and road will all be safely protected by the robust new seawall.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project has seen the successful placement of 36 wall units. More than 300 cope units and 90 wall units have already been manufactured, and are ready for placement, with many more in production.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We are looking forward to continued progress and ongoing support from the community,” concluded Andrews.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
