Refurbishment works are set to commence tomorrow (March 11) on a County Fingal-based beach.

The works, which are expected to last for approximately three months, include restoring the existing Burrow Beach surface water outfall pipe which lies across the beach at Sutton. 

The pipe has been subject to erosion and storm action, and as a result has come free of its concrete covering and now floats on the tide, anchored at each end by a concrete inlet structure and a concrete outlet structure. These works are designed to refurbish the pipe anchoring system, with no changes to the actual existing pipe.

Access to the construction area will be via existing laneway to Burrow Beach from Burrow Road. To allow for a safe turning area for vehicles involved in this essential work, the layby/parking area on Burrow Road will be closed off. 

The works will require the area being fenced off temporarily and fencing removed at the end of each day so that beach users will not be unduly impeded.
