Today I visited the construction site of the River Roding Flood Alleviation project in Essex.\u00a0 Briefly – a long earth dam will restrict and contain the river Roding water flow – which then backs up into a holding area in the existing valley.\u00a0 The water is then released slowly over a time through a flow control structure set into the middle of the dam.\u00a0 This image is looking upstream at the new river channel approaching the flow control structure.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The next three images record the current state of the flow control structure which is about 50m wide and is still to be completed.\u00a0 The two sections of embankment (when built) will run into either side of the flow control structure at the appropriate height.<\/p>\n

I must say thank you to the EA for arranging the RFCC visit and compliment the Contractors for their helpfulness.<\/p>\n
