The £6.76 million refurbishment of Whitby's famous west and east piers improved the condition of the grade II listed structures into the foreseeable future. The project stabilised sandstone facing blocks, filled voids and repaired the deck surface to prevent damage from water ingress. A new flood deflector wall at the adjoining slipway was built in preference to a more visually intrusive flood gate alternative, and this wall now lessens the impact of wave run-up on the slipway during stormy sea conditions, protecting several commercial properties against sea flooding, which previously regularly occurred. The construction work, susceptible to unpredictable weather and undertaken in a hostile marine environment, was carried out from marine craft, using cranes with suspended access systems and divers, all working in tidal conditions. Through careful planning and coordination, construction was completed safely, ahead of programme and £150 000 under budget. This paper describes the physical setting and historic development of the harbour at Whitby, draws lessons from an earlier refurbishment of another grade II listed marine structure and demonstrates how these lessons were applied to the refurbishment of the Whitby harbour piers to ensure that the works remained sympathetic to the heritage values and iconic aesthetic setting of the area.

北约克郡惠特比港二级保护码头的遗产和翻新

惠特比著名的西码头和东码头耗资 676 万英镑整修，在可预见的未来改善了二级保护建筑的状况。该项目稳定了砂岩饰面块，填充空隙并修复了甲板表面，以防止进水造成损坏。在相邻的滑道上建造了一个新的防洪导流墙，而不是更具视觉干扰性的防洪闸替代方案，这堵墙现在减少了在暴风雨海况下波浪爬高对滑道的影响，保护了几个商业物业免受海淹，以前经常发生。施工工作易受不可预测的天气影响，并在恶劣的海洋环境中进行，由船舶进行，使用带有悬挂式通道系统的起重机和潜水员，所有工作都在潮汐条件下进行。通过仔细的规划和协调，施工安全完成，提前计划并低于预算 150 000 英镑。本文描述了惠特比海港的物理环境和历史发展，借鉴了另一个二级上市海洋结构的早期整修中的经验，并展示了如何将这些经验应用于惠特比港码头的整修，以确保工程仍然具有同情心该地区的遗产价值和标志性的美学环境。
