Data Logger Installation/Broomhill

Following recent   Ground Investigation work carried out on behalf of the Environment Agency ,  some data loggers have been left  in-situ on the beach at Broomhill Sands.

These data loggers are installed to record fluctuations in the water table.  During the  consultation on the Folkestone to Cliff End Strategy a local resident  had asked a question about potential seepage under the defence and the EA’s  work is in response to this.

Three of the data loggers are raised above the ground. The installation  basically  consists of a pipe within a pipe within a pipe.  From the  beach you will see the external twin wall pipe.  If you look through the chicken wire on the top, you’ll see a padlocked cover over the standpipe.

The installations  will remain  in-situ for at least a month and regular measurements  will be carried out  during this period  by the Environment Agency.
