Tony Gee was appointed technical advisor to East Suffolk Council for the tidal barrier, which was planned to be built as part of Lowestoft Flood Protection. Marine engineering consultancy and design services were provided, including detailed design, constructability, value engineering, concept/outline design review and independent checking of the design and build project.
