The work is part of the Worthing Capital Maintenance Coastal Defence Project, which is underway along Worthing seafront.
The project, which is being carried out across seven areas, is currently focusing on the coastline between Denton Gardens and The Esplanade.
Newly-released images show contractors installing new pile extensions and replacing missing timber planks to repair and strengthen the groynes.
The Environment Agency is leading the multimillion-pound project in partnership with Worthing Borough Council to boost flood protection and prolong the life of the timber groynes in the area.
The scheme aims to safeguard homes and businesses from Seaview Road in the west to Lancing at Brooklands.
The life of the existing groynes should be extended by up to ten years while a longer-term solution is planned.
This will be followed by a year of monitoring and an assessment of shingle replenishment needs, which will begin in Autumn this year.
In an update last month, the council said most repairs are already complete between the Lido and Seaview Road.

The repair works come amid recent news that Worthing and Adur would receive £4 million in government funding to help upgrade flood defences.
Nearly £1.8 million will go towards the Capital Maintenance Project.
Adur will receive £2.1 million to support improvements to Shoreham and Lancing’s coastal defences, which include the Western Harbour Arm Flood Defence, and the Shoreham Adur Tidal Walls scheme.
Adur District Council is also currently working in partnership with the Shoreham Port Authority and Brighton & Hove City Council to deliver the Brighton Marina to River Adur Coastal Scheme, with improvement works along Southwick Beach scheduled for 2030.
