Protecting Sizewell through Sedimentation
More than 40% of nuclear power plants are located adjacent to the sea. Under the projected conditions of climate change, it is essential to rethink the relationship between nuclear power plants and the coast. Due to increased flooding and erosion risks, this project aims to protect Sizewell power station through the utilisation of natural sedimentation processes along the Suffolk coastline. This project begins with the design of a sediment supply system which will reinforce a natural subtidal dune serving as a natural breakwater offshore. The controlled sedimentation patterns will also form new islands for occupation. Over a large timescale, this project takes landscape design as a variation process and offers different experiences for people and animals.
Bird’s Eye View of Sediment Supply System
The sediment supply system is made up of a series of dunes along the coastline. It is a dynamic system, as natural erosion processes move and deposit sediments along the coastline.
Master Plan of Sizewell Bank Subtidal Dune
The subtidal dunes are stabilised by oyster farming structures including pillars and artificial reefs. Pavilions and viewing platforms provide spaces for people and sea birds.
Underwater View of the Oyster Harvest
Cultivating oyster on reef balls not only helps to stabilise the subtidal dunes and reduce wave height, but also introduces a new industry to the region.
Crossing a Bridge
The bridge network is the main pathway throughout the project. It supports both walking and cycling, provides resting spaces, and connects different islands.
Master Plan of Island Cluster off Thorpeness Coast
Through the sediment transportation process, sediments deposited on the Thropeness coast form small islands over time. These islands offer habitats for animals and provide spaces for humans.
