River and Coastal Erosion

Specialist erosion protection solutions, from gabion baskets and reinforced concrete to large-scale armour rock placement.

Experienced in Erosion Protection

Neither coastal nor riverbank erosion are new to this country. However, with climate change, both are becoming more pronounced and are increasingly threatening land, buildings, roads and rail networks.

With over 30 years’ experience in this type of work, our teams have developed extensive expertise in erosion protection, including the use of gabion baskets, timber groins and reinforced concrete.

We have also hauled and placed hundreds of thousands of tonnes of armour rock, with individual rocks weighing up to 5 tonnes.

Specialist Armour Rock Placement

Our operators are highly trained in the intricacies of handling and placing armour rock, allowing us to undertake demanding erosion protection works with the precision and care required by each individual project.
