Trident Civil EngineeringThe Pembrokeshire County Council will have to spend just over half a million pounds on urgent repairs at a Tenby high school.
A survey in Ysgol Greenhill found 750 concrete areas in “poor condition” with cracks in both bricks and concrete slabs.
The council leader, Jon Harvey, approved the £ 555,946 to rectify the “failure of the external wall concrete frame” in the school.
The decision was published on Wednesday afternoon on the Council’s website in a very unusual movement.
The survey was conducted in July 2024 by the contractor Trident Civil Engineering.
The defects were monitored and reevaluated a second visit to school in February 2025.
The company declared that the deterioration of concrete raised a “significant risk” that could endanger pedestrians and damage potentiable vehicles.
He added: “Some columns have lost enough structural mass to question their integrity.
“We are very advice that thesis works are classified as urgent and immediately necessary to restore security and suitability for use.”
Trident Civil EngineeringFinancing for work will come from buildings maintenance reserves for the school capital program.
It is understood that most of the work will be carried out school vacations, which means that students will not be affected by the interruption.
The problem is not linked to the airy concrete in Reinforced Autoclava (RAAC), which has caused problems within several schools and buildings throughout the United Kingdom.
The Pembrokeshire County Council has been asked to comment.
