Tucketts Clyce, Somerset

For Kier

2019

As part of Somerset’s flood defences, TMS were called in to replace a failing outfall head wall along the bank
of the estuary at Tuckett’s Clyce in Somerset. Using 16m steel sheet piles, TMS constructed a new cofferdam
head wall directly in front of the original head wall, therefore allowing safe demolition of the failing
structure. In addition to the sheet piles, additional anchor piles were installed and attached with steel tie
bars to ensure no movement could occur.

Hundreds of homes and many farms in the surrounding villages were overwhelmed with floodwater and overflowing foul water, following a series of heavy storms over a number of weeks.

Bruern Level Crossing, Oxfordshire

For Network Rail

Extensive flooding in recent years had eroded the foundations of the level crossing and the river bank, supporting the main line rail track running only 8 metres from the water’s edge. Scour protection and a new river bank of rock armour was needed, to prevent further track movement and level crossing subsidence.

Salmon’s Brook Remediation

For London Waste EcoPark

Salmon’s Brook has been associated in the past with significant flooding both historically and more recently back in October 2000.
In recent years, scour has resulted in the river bank failing, with bank material falling into the river and this therefore required remediation.
