The Environment Agency is looking to engage with suppliers of all types on methods to renew flood defence assets in the Thames Estuary and ensure that the area is protected beyond the end of the century in a £930M project.
The £930M project will see a multi-year capital delivery programme put into place to deliver TE2100 Plan’s objectives.
This will involve:
👉Taking an optimised asset management led approach to maintaining and improving current flood risk management assets including flood walls, embankments, major barriers, flood gates and pumping stations
👉Working with communities to develop visions for their future riversides
👉Identifying and protecting land needed for future improvements to flood defences
👉Securing third party investment to deliver multiple benefits through flood defence works
👉Engaging other asset owners to ensure that the TE2100 Plan is applied everywhere in the estuary, not just to Environment Agency assets
👉Monitor how the estuary is changing in response to climate change
👉Achieving a sustainable, low-carbon future delivery programme
