Design & Engineering Update

Ground investigation works have been completed, including the drilling of several boreholes across the site. The resulting ground condition information is now being assessed and will inform the design of the coastal defence improvements.

Specialist inspections of the existing flood walls and coastal revetment have also been carried out. These detailed condition assessments will determine how the current structures can be adapted or improved to meet the project’s requirements.

In parallel, design work for the embankment raising and reprofiling has commenced. This follows the completion of a full topographical survey, which has provided essential information on existing site features and ground levels needed to progress the detailed design.
