投资 1 .2 8亿英镑的埃姆斯挡潮坝 ,于 1 998年开工 ,坝底槛基础已接近完工。该挡潮坝能抵挡比正常高潮位高 2ｍ的大潮 ,加之在坝的上游面有 2 .7ｍ的超高 ,所以是一个理想的解决方案。该设计与包括 6个墩和底槛的泰晤士河拦河坝相似。利用底槛挡水 ,上游面的要求比下游面高 , An investment of 128 million pounds of Ames tide dam started in 1998, the foundation threshold of the dam is nearing completion. The tide dam can withstand the tide of 2m above the normal high tide level, combined with an extra high of 2.7m on the upstream face of the dam, so it is an ideal solution. The design is similar to the Thames Barrage, which includes six piers and sills. The use of the threshold of water, the upstream side of the downstream surface than the high demand,
