The Thames tidal defences are the UK’s most complex and costly flood defence system and of global significance both as a feat of engineering and in terms of the value of assets protected from flooding. The system includes 200km of dikes on the Thames Estuary and the Thames Barrier, built in the 1970s to protect against a storm surge with an annual probability of 0.001 in 2030. Planning is now underway to scope an enhanced flood risk management plan for the estuary.
