The Harbour Wall Remedial Works Project undertook a comprehensive approach to address a range of repair needs for
the masonry harbour wall situated at Brunswick Wharf in Bideford.
The Big Painting is a creative solution to the practical problem of wind blowing through the buildings at Cardinal Place in
Victoria, London. The sculpture was designed by Patrick Heron and his son-in-law, Julian Feary (architect), brought it to life on a grand
scale. The sculpture consists of numerous brightly coloured floating shapes connected with linear patterns. Neon tubes light up the
sculpture at night with a pathway of lights directing people through the sculpture on foot. The Big Painting was commissioned in 1998,
although the artist sadly passed away a year after the sculpture was unveiled.
Working on behalf of Aberdeenshire
Council, TMS were appointed as Principal Contractor
to construct three new pier heads around three
historic ones in Stonehaven Harbour. The three new
pier heads were to encapsulate the existing Net Pier,
South Pier and Fish Jetty structures which had all
been considered to have reached the end of their
serviceable life and were at risk of failure if their
condition were allowed to degrade further. The full
scope of the project included:
TMS were appointed by AV Dawson to carry out the replacement of a failed
section of quay in Middlesbrough Port. Due to increasing dredge depth and
quay loading, the existing sheet piled quay wall had suffered partial failure
and required replacement to prevent collapse and allow for future
operational loading.
TMS were contracted in October 2019 by ABP Plymouth to carry out the task to repair the reinforced concrete beams
underneath West Wharf. The concrete beams had failed due to the wetting and drying of the steel causing the concrete to
crack and blow around the steel.
To repair a 5m high, 7m wide section of a quay wall which had collapsed and was possibly causing damage to nearby outdoor swimming pools.
A series of severe winter storms over recent years has reduced the beach level at Babbacombe by over one metre. This meant that the end of the existing slipway was left approximately one metre above beach level, making the launching of boats a difficult and hazardous activity.
A £25m complex at Devonport Dockyard has been built for the Ministry of Defence to provide services for the landing craft and assault boats of 539 Assault Squadron Royal Marines. A critical factor in this development was to provide the ability for the Landing Craft Air Cushion (hovercraft) and regular Landing Craft to be removed from the water. This was achieved through the construction of a new slipway.
TMS Ltd were engaged by Maldon District Council to re-build the historic quay in Maldon, which had partially collapsed during the storms of December 2013.
A new sewage outfall to be laid from a rock mounted Pumping Station onshore and stretching 900 metres out to sea.
Demolition and reconstruction of the Banjo Promenade, Torquay.
In 2015, a 12m long section of Plymouth’s historic Millbay Marina masonry quay wall collapsed into the marina, leading to washout and undermining of the quayside above it. Working for the Homes and Communities Agency, TMS were engaged for this 14 week project to repair the quay wall and replace pontoon berths that were also damaged during the collapse.
