Critical flood defences upgrade in Trusthorpe
The work is being carried out on the land drainage outfall. These outfalls are designed to prevent back flow from the sea causing flooding inland during extremely high tides.
This work will better protect 25 homes which are included in the 20,000 properties that the Saltfleet and Gibraltar Point Strategy sets out to protect.
The project will take 8 weeks to complete and will reduce the risk of flooding similar to the tidal surge in December 2013 when the road and nearby properties were flooded.
The outfall upgrade will include the replacement of the existing gate, which will be closed when high water is forecast. The air vents that lead to the sea and prevent flood water escaping will also be raised to reduce the risk of overtopping.
