River Adur Tidal Walls Flood Defence Scheme

The Shoreham Adur Tidal Walls Flood Defence Scheme reduces the risk of tidal flooding to residents and businesses within Shoreham-by-Sea.

The Environment Agency employed the services of Team Van Oord to carry out construction of this project.

You can find out about more about how and why the Tidal Walls Flood Defence Scheme was built in the leaflet produced by the Environment Agency below.

The booklet contains two trails you can follow around the tidal walls.
