November 2025 - St Ives Sluice

Work continues on the St Ives Sluice as our contractors have just completed a thorough survey of both the gates and surrounding structures. This phase included underwater, ground level and aerial surveys and is an important step in determining the extent of the works required on the sluice, in advance of a decision about which solutions may or may not be feasible.

Data from the survey is currently being compiled. It will provide a 3D model above and below the waterline which will be assessed with other condition surveys, hydraulic modelling and cost estimates to go into the business case for approval in late Spring 2026.
