The Environment Agency indicated that a Flood Risk Assessment should be carried out to evaluate the risk of flooding due to wave overtopping of the barrier beach for a 1 in 200 year return period with an allowance for sea level rise to 2060.</div> <bR> <div> Historical cross sectional beach profile data was obtained from the Environment Agency which indicated that the beach profile was generally stable with some fluctuation to the front profile on a year to year basis but with no signs of recession to the face within the data record.</div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="283"><div> <B>Scope of Work</B><B> - Eirene Road, Worthing</B></div> <div> JYA Ltd was appointed to undertake a detailed Flood Risk Assessment for the Eirene Road site which principally involved the development of a wave overtopping model in conjunction with an assessment of morphologocal changes to the beach profile during storm conditions. </div> <bR> <div> A 1D model including the effects of wave breaking, shoaling and wave set-up was constructed to transform nearshore wave data to the toe of the barrier beach.  The model was run for the eight joint probability combinations of peak water level and wave climate identified in the Coastal Defence Strategy for Wothing. </div> <bR> <div> The results of the 1D model was applied to a wave overtopping model based upon the Hedges & Reis and Besley emperical methodologies to identify the combination of water level and wave climate producing the worst wave overtopping condition.</div> <bR> <bR> </tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> </td> </tr><tr> <td valign="top" colspan=2 height=32 BGCOLOR="#FFFBF0" TEXT="#080000"> <div> <A HREF="id80.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Villa Paridiso, Nevis "><U><B><IMG SRC="0111b180.jpg" border=0 width="27" height="24" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></B></U></A><B>  </B><A HREF="id105.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Martello Lakes "><U><B><IMG SRC="0121e160.jpg" border=0 width="30" height="22" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></B></U></A><B>  </B><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="23" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" WIDTH="27"><B>  </B><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="22" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" WIDTH="27"></div> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
