Project summary
Aims of project:
- enhanced tidal defences
- conservation enhancements
- flood storage
Work undertaken:
- closure of three floodgates
- replacement of part of river wall
- provision of riverside walkway
- planting between river edge and buildings
The site adjacent to the river Thames in Teddington was a famous boatyard for several decades. A mixed development was proposed on the site. However, part of the development is in the floodplain. In consultation with the environment agency it was decided to set the flood defences away from the river frontage and part of the ground flood of one buildinghas been left ‘open’ to the tide. These measures enable flood storage on the redevelopment site to be unchanged form the original site.
