Dear Editor,
I refer to Mr Allsopp’s letter captioned “If the pattern of erosion is studied it is possible to predict where it will occur and plan maintenance accordingly” (08.04.06) on the subject of my earlier response on the recent sea defence overtopping and to state that I joined the Hydraulics Division as a Civil Engineer in the 1960’s and not as a Structural Engineer as claimed by him.
I replaced Lawrence Charles as the Project Engineer for the design and construction of the East Coast Sea Defences that were in the process of being re-aligned. At that time the Roads and Hydraulics Division were together and known as the Ministry of Works and Hydraulics. He was deputy to Mr Naraine who was the CWHO.
