Heidi Roberts, Head of Coastal and Offshore Processes at ABPmer said: “We are delighted to be providing specialist technical input in the form of Coastal Hydrodynamics and Geomorphology chapters of the Environmental Statements.

The work includes preparing a baseline and conceptual understanding of the physical processes as well as defining and assessing the potential impact pathways of the schemes’ design and construction methodology.”
