Description

River regulation and flood control works. Floodgates. Flood-prevention works. In December 2013 the Suffolk coast suffered the most significant sea-surge generated flood event since 1953. Large parts of central Lowestoft were flooded by seawater, the majority of which came from overtopping of low parts of harbour quay walls in the outer harbour and Lake Lothing water areas. WDC has secured funding to manage the risk of an early repeat flooding event by use of temporary, fully removable flood barriers. WDC has secured funding to manage the risk of an early repeat flooding event by use of temporary fully, removable flood barriers.

The alignment is designed to generally locate the barrier onto a hard surface with vehicle access immediately adjacent to the deployment line. There are small steps, typically kerbs, pinch points at openings in barriers and numerous changes of direction. The line is split between public land, usually highway, and private land.

An important element of this contract will be the Public Services (Social Value) Act 2012. This is a major contract for the Council and it will be a requirement for the Contractor (if any contract awarded) to consider how the Supplies or Services they provide might improve the economic, social and environmental well being of the area.
