The Tidal Walls

Tidal Floodwalls have been built along Hamilton Road and Waveney Road to the North and around the Royal Norfolk and Suffolk Yacht Club and South Pier to the South.

The defences are made up of a mixture of solid floodwalls, demountable defences, floodgates and glass floodwalls. The glass floodwalls will run around the Yacht Club and the South Pier to maintain views of the marina and Port.

Construction of the flood walls began in May 2021 and were completed in October 2023.  

As part of the planning application for the tidal flood walls a Flood Risk Assessment was carried out to address how flood risk will change in the area as the project progresses.
