Water damage (HFF).

The overflow ramp at Walverden reservoir near the town of Nelson in Lancashire, North-West England. Heavy rain caused the reservoir to overflow and the "tiles" below the ramp have been lifted by the force of the water. The concrete blocks on the ramp are supposed to stop this from happening by breaking-up the water flow.

Well spotted, and interesting information ...

Personally, I think the change of slope angle has also affected the water flow, there should have been a solid apron or a more gradual change in the slope at the bottom of the spillway before the "tiles" ...
