Stiffkey Sluice
Gate Replacement and Repair
Outfall Works
A prime example of one of our replacement and repair projects is the Stiffkey Sluice in Norfolk.
The existing sluice gates at Stiffkey were in a poor condition and were due for replacement with new stainless steel and plastic flap valves. The three gates are situated around the coast of Norfolk with timing of works subjected to tide times at low water and the river Stiffkey running in the other way.
We are pleased to say that the outcome of this job was a huge success to Drake Towage and to our client. We look forward to providing more high-quality services like this in the future.
