Assessing and managing the risks with transitions in flood defence infrastructure
What the buyer wrote
This is a research and development project to better understand the effects of transition zones on the performance of flood defence assets. Transition zones are areas of weakness within an overall system of flood defences where flood defences 'transition' to a new form or geometry. It is at the interface between the two differing surfaces, where the processes of erosion (internal and external) are promoted. If these erosion processes are undetected, or left unchecked, they can ultimately lead to flood defence failure and breach. This work aims to address these issues by helping Risk Management Authorities to: 1) consider the presence of transitions during flood defence condition assessmen…
