Sea Defence in Jaywick and Canvey Island

Sea Defence in Jaywick and Canvey Island

Jaywick and Canvey Island are some of the UK’s most vulnerable areas to flooding and erosion. The Chunnel Group provides expert sea defences to protect these communities from the effects of climate change.

In low-lying Jaywick, storm surges increase the risk of flooding. We’ve built flood barriers, embankments, and drainage systems to reduce this danger and protect properties. Canvey Island, much of which is below sea level, needs more complex solutions like tidal barriers, pumping stations, and sea walls to prevent flooding and maintain infrastructure.

Using the latest engineering methods, we deliver durable solutions to rising sea levels and extreme weather. We also work with councils and environmental groups to create defences that protect both people and the environment.
