CRL TIDAL DEFENCE
2.6 Tidal Defences Scheme _ Flooding is a huge issue for Sandwich. Recently, they just began a tidal defences project to prevent the frequent menace from surge and high tide. The current defences in and around Sandwich only provide a 1 in 20 year standard of protection a 5 per cent chance in any one year that flooding will occur. At the Town Quay the standard of defence is lower still and flooding regularly occurs at this location. The scheme will also protect other key assets including Discovery Park, valuable infrastructure such as the main coastal access routes and key tourist and employment areas. The scheme will take 2..5years to construct and will cost approximately 21.7 million pounds. Architectural Association
