Flood Defence Improvements

Project Overview

Clinton Lloyd Consultancy (CLC) was appointed to provide Project Management services for a 2km coastal flood defence upgrade, forming part of a wider programme to improve coastal resilience and protect critical port infrastructure, commercial assets and surrounding residential communities from tidal and storm-surge flooding.

The scheme included the construction and reinforcement of coastal revetments and flood walls, raising existing defences by up to 0.75m, consistent with modern UK coastal uplift requirements, and installing new flood gates at strategic access points.

A key challenge was undertaking the works within a busy, operational port environment, where maintaining access for port users, neighbouring businesses and the public was essential.

Our Role

CLC provided project management services under an NEC4 Professional Services Contract, with responsibilities including:

  • Coordination of the design team throughout the project.
  • Management of multiple stakeholders to balance operational requirements and project objectives.
  • Preparing tender documentation, evaluating submissions and providing tender analysis.
  • Coordinating project activities to minimise disruption to ongoing port operations and surrounding facilities.
  • Overseeing programme, risk and project delivery requirements.
