Usually deep sheet piles, or sealed pile walls are used to stop flooding where it falls below the water table. Of course, effective drainage needs to be installed, which is perhaps where Chants Ave has gone wrong.'"

Chants Ave has a small pumping station to remove surface water...the problem is though if the drains which the pumps discharge into are already full theres nowhere for the water to go till the backlog subsides...new A63 underpass will also have a pump station fited to remove surface water....this will be piped to the nearest body of water!!!!
