Project Brief
 

A sluice on the Sharpness Canal was recently re-commissioned and modernised. When the sluice was first opened to release flood water in 2007 the force of the discharge eroded the adjacent SSSI foreshore and exposed the original Victorian spillway.

Cain Bio-Engineering Ltd (CBE) was contracted as principle designer to repair and protect the Victorian spillway and surrounding environment.
