摘要
Innovation and best practice designs can be encouraged through an effective design process. The award-winning Harbertonford Flood Defence Scheme was described as 'the future of flood defence schemes' by Sir John Harman, Chairman of the Environment Agency, and delivered a combination of in-village river channel improvement and upstream flood attenuation to alleviate regular flooding and the misery it caused. This paper focuses on how the design was developed and implemented to demonstrate the benefits that can be delivered through good teamwork and effective management of the civil engineering process.
