Work continues at Leigh Expansion and
Hildenborough Embankment Scheme
Following on from the previous issue of Fluid, KGAL continues to carry out vital flood defence works
with JBA Consulting on behalf of the Environment Agency at the Leigh Expansion and Hildenborough
Embankment Scheme (LEHES).
Construction commenced this year with the installation of the south radial gate, which has been successfully located, and the winch drive is now due to be installed and
tested. The moving platform will then be installed. All gate components have been brought to the site, including the gate leaf in two pieces for transportation. These have
all been welded together on-site, then encapsulated and painted.
Installation of the centre gate and north gate is planned for 2025.
