              2017.
          (b) The works: -
              (i)       are suitable for their intended use;
              (ii)      are designed to be structurally adequate for their intended location and
                        anticipated use;
              (iii)     are designed to be structurally adequate to allow for the scour resulting from
                        flood and tidal conditions;
              (iv)      are designed not to impose loads on existing structures such that the design
                        capabilities of these existing structures are exceeded (structures include walls
                        without limiting the definition of structures);
