Sealing of the Eastern Sluices Ramsgate Harbour

Descriptions

Since the construction of the Port of Ramsgate, the sluices are obsolete and are no longer maintained in functional condition. Previous works to plug the eastern sluices are showing signs of degradation allowing leakage from the inner basin to the outer harbour. The eastern sluices are to be dammed, but not completely blocked. The solution envisaged is a plate or wall, with a weir or letterbox set at 3.6m chart datum. The solution is to last 25 years with minimal maintenance. The Contract is anticipated to commence upon 8 August 2022 for a duration of 12 Weeks.
