Structural Engineer in Shoreham-by-Sea

Shoreham-by-Sea is a coastal town at the mouth of the River Adur, with a housing stock that ranges from Victorian terraces in the town centre to inter-war bungalows and some modern development. The riverside and coastal location creates flood risk implications for some properties — particularly those on the west bank of the Adur and on the Shoreham Beach spit, which is in a high flood risk zone.

The sandy beach and river alluvium geology has lower bearing capacity than the chalk found in the South Downs above, and foundation design for extensions near the coast or river must be adapted accordingly. Many inter-war bungalows in the area are candidates for loft conversion to add additional living space.

We cover Shoreham-by-Sea, Lancing, Southwick, and the surrounding Adur area.
