The unusually narrow harbour entrance at Littlehampton drains a catchment of 966km2 including the Arun’s main tributary, the Rother. The entrance to the harbour is protected from siltation through the presence of river training walls and piers at the mouth of the river, including the west training wall. These structures have intercepted beach drift since the earliest construction in 1736. Over the years these structures have been replaced to ensure the harbour remains operational, however these structures were, once again, nearing the end of their residual life. As such, there became an urgent requirement tore construct the 40m section of the damaged west training wall.
