Balfour Beatty has recently completed three schemes for Denbighshire County Council through the Scape Group Civils Framework. This demonstrates the value of established procurement routes in enabling efficient project delivery, strong collaboration and local impact. Frameworks such as Scape continue to play an important role in providing certainty, driving best practice and supporting investment in Welsh communities.
One of the schemes focusses on Central Prestatyn Coastal Defence Scheme, and the use of EcoSheetPile™ to decarbonise steel usage. The £26 million Central Prestatyn Coastal Defence Scheme, delivered by UKCS Regional Civils through the SCAPE Civil Engineering framework for Denbighshire County Council, was completed nine months early and under budget.
The scheme now protects 2,700 homes and businesses from coastal flooding through the construction of a 1.7 km flood embankment, new rock armour, culvert upgrades and safeguarding of a key pumping station serving 17,000 properties. Praised by the Deputy First Minister of Wales as a model of proactive flood risk management, the project also delivered meaningful social and environmental value supporting local employment, engaging young people and reducing carbon through sustainable construction practices.
