Brief Descriptions

Health Island is a major new development in Bahrain and will be the first of six islands forming an archipelago of  to the north east coast of Maharraq.  The island will include a range of Health related facilities including a number of major hospitals, clinics and supporting facilities associated with recuperation.JYA Ltd was appointed as a specialist coastal and maritime civil engineering consultant to undertake a two stage feasibility study into the design of the island
Eenvale Young was approached to undertake a breach analysis for the Martello Lakes project in Hythe by Cameron Taylor Consulting Engineers. The existing site lies within the tidal inundation flood plaing.  The site is currently protected from flooding by a barrier beach. Using TUFLOW Edenvale Young evaluated the impact of a breach forming in the barrier before and after the construction of a building platform for the development.
In 2000 the weir at Skenfrith was breached leading to a significant alteration in the alignment of the River Monnow adjacent to the village and the historic Norman castle. The mill at Skenfrith also dates back to the 15th Centaury and historic context of the weir is important.  JYA Ltd was appointed to undertake a feasibility study for the restoration of the weir.
Worthing & Lymington Coastal Flood Risk Assessment
JYA was appointed to undertake two Flood Risk Assessments for Bayview Developments to evaluate the risk of tidal inundation to sites in Lymington and Worthing as a result of tidal and wave overtopping to the existing sea defences in Lymington and the barrier beach in Worthing.
Oswestry East, Drainage Study
Derivation of proposals and options for sustainable drainage from three large development sites in Oswestry. This included the assessment of surface run-off and the general management of water on the site .  Proposals comprised the development of lakes for attenuation, detention ponds, permeable paving and swales to maximise the potential for infiltration. In addition rainwater harvesting was also investigated for grey water use from industrial units for use in car washes etc.
Villa Paridiso lies on the west coast of the Caribbean Island of Nevis. The beaches are well protected from the prevailing wave climate from the Atlantic but are susceptible to hurricane damage. Hurricanes Luis, Hugo and Lenny have all resulted in significant shoreline recession which has removed significant beach material from the shoreline.

The area covered by Barrow Borough Council is on the Furness Peninsula on the Cumbrian coast of the UK. The borough has a number of potential rural and urban flooding problems. In particular, Barrow in Furness is at risk of both tidal inundation and fluvial flooding with over 1,800 properties identified as being vulnerable and within the existing flood risk mapping area.
Monmouth Welcome Centre Flood Consequence Assessment
Advice on flood risk and development of a Flood Consequence Assessment in accordance with TAN 15 for the development of a Welcome Centre on the banks of the River Monnow in Monmouth in conjunction with Alec French Architects for Mommouthshire County Council.

Edenvale Young Associates was approached by Gredeco Ansari Consultants of  Manama in Bahrain to undertake a review of the proposed design for the two reclamation sites on behalf of the CPD department of the Ministry of Works. The commission was extended to include the development of a new shoreline Master Plan and Detailed Design of the Shoreline Structures.

Edenvale Young Associates Ltd (JYA Ltd) was appointed by Prickly Bay Waterside Ltd to undertake a number of preliminary and design studies associated with the marine engineering of Prickly Bay.  The scope of works included a wave climate study, a marine risk analysis and design of the dock edge feature.

Unnoticed by many the Lledan Brook runs  through the centre of Welshpool.  In common with many other urban rivers the brook has been gradually covered and culverted to accommodate residential and commercial development in the centre of the town. Following the preparation and submission of the pre-feasibility study in 2002 Powys County Council were given grant funding to undertake a full project appraisal to consider the issue of flooding in Welshpool.
JYA was appointed by Powys County Council to undertake a flooding project appraisal study for the town of Knighton where Approximately 50 properties, are at risk of flooding from the River Teme and Wylcwm Brook in Knighton.

In 2002 Powys County Council received funding from the Welsh Assembly Government to undertake pre-feasibility studies for 67 locations in the County subject to regular flooding from ordinary watercourses.Edenvale Young Associates undertook studies were to consider the technical, environmental and economic impact of flooding to local communities and make recommendation for further funding to the WAG.
In order to evaluate the effectiveness and efficiency of the wharfage arrangements at Greenwich Peninsula a SOFTPORT port simulation model was developed to assess marine, port and landside transport.  The objective of the analysis was to assess the existing and future operation of the aggregate importing facilities at Greenwich comprising Murphy's Wharf, Victoria Deep Terminal, Blackwall (Delta) Wharf, and Angerstein's Wharf.
In Easter 1998 and again in October 2000 the market town of Welshpool was stranded by rising water following several days of heavy rainfall over the Welsh mountains.  The A483 trunk road crossing the flood plain of the River Severn to the north and south of the town making roads impassable to cars, heavy goods and emergency vehicles.  Edenvale Young Associates in conjunction with Powys County Council has been working to evaluate strategic problems of flooding at Moor Straight on the A470 at Welshpool.
A short course with the aim is to give the engineer and planner a some understanding of the environmental issues of marine water quality and show that given good design practices it is possible to engineer solutions which enhance the environment.

Edenvale Young Associates was invited by Graham and Gardner and Partners and appointed by McCarthy and Stone to undertake a Flood Risk Assessment for the Priory Mills development in Wells.  The development will comprise of the construction of 34 sheltered apartments on the former site of the factory (Sheldon Engineering Works).

The Tropicana at Weston Super-Mare was a popular attraction for holiday makers between the 1930s and 1970s The redevelopment of the derelict site meant that there were several major issues to address including the development of a Flood Risk Assessment (PPG25) and an Environmental Statement.
