Integral Field Campaign Southwold

Royal HaskoningDHV is the consultant to study the morpho-hydrodynamics of the Southwold tidal system in relation to coastal zone management, coastal protection and potentially re-engineering of coastal- and port structures. SHORE was commissioned to draft and execute an integral survey campaign, consisting of:

- topographic- and bathymetric data of the tidal channel, port and buffer approx. 100 meters

- seaward of the end of the piers

- velocity profiling and discharge measurements (spring and neap tide)

- bed sediment samples

- suspended sediment samples (spring tide only)

- turbidity measurements (spring tide only)

- water level measurements (spring and neap tide)

In an extensive field campaign, data on all these parameters were successfully collected and delivered to the client.
