10 Gun Battery Seawall Repairs

With current sea defenses reaching the end of their existing life (some dating as far back as World War II), the Solent Coastal Partnership Scheme has been put in place and seeks to adapt and improve the coastal defenses surrounding Portsmouth with the principle aim of reducing the flood risk in the future. The current flood defenses help to protect over 10,000 homes as well as hundreds of non-residential properties and in recent years have had two major failures during severe weather conditions such as winter storms and high tides. If these flood defenses are going to continue to protect these properties then improvement work is required to make sure they last long into the future. This improvement scheme is the UK’s largest local authority-led coastal defences’ project, stretching for 4.5km and helping to reduce the risk of flooding to more than 10,000 homes and 700 businesses.
