Work is progressing well at Bewdley in Worcestershire where a Jackson team is constructing a Flood Risk Management Scheme (FRMS) on behalf of the Environment Agency.
Bewdley is subject to significant flood risk from the River Severn, which runs through the town, and has flooded numerous times over the past decades.
This scheme involves the construction of 350 metres of flood defence along the left bank of the river. The new protection will consist of a combination of demountable flood barriers and permanent raised walls with glass panels on top to maintain views across the river.
The team is currently working off a temporary working platform on the waterfront made from rock bags and is in the process of installing 180 CFA (Continuous Flight Augered) steel piles that will support the flood wall.
Once complete, the scheme will reduce the flood risk for more than 50 properties and maintain access to 160 businesses, as well as schools and other public services in the town.
