The unusually narrow harbour entrance at Littlehampton drains a catchment of 966km2 including the Arun’s main tributary, the Rother. The entrance to the harbour is protected from
siltation through the presence of river training walls and piers at the mouth of the river, including the west training wall.
The existing Roundhead Quay Wall at Discovery Quay is an existing sheet piled wall that protects the National Maritime Museum Cornwall.
The wall had been showing signs of corrosion, particularly in the splash zones, which was evidenced in the pitting, rust staining and surface delamination that was present.
TMS were appointed, by Costain, to complete the installation of tubular fender piles on the River Severn at Mythe and
Upton. These piles were to protect the water treatment works and an eel pass.
TMS were awarded the design and build contract for repair works at East
Quay, Watchet Harbour. The project included the installation of a 42 m
section of new sheet pile wall and waling beams. The existing sheet piled
quay wall, used as both a leisure and commercial facility, had failed and
was collapsing into the harbour.
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:
Working on behalf of Shetland Islands Council, TMS were appointed as Principal Contractor for the construction of a new pier in Toft
at the north end of Shetland Mainland. The work was completed over an 18-month period with a break during the winter ‘windy’
season and a further break forced by the recent COVID-19 construction shut-down. TMS worked closely with Shetland Island Council
to develop ‘COVID Safe’ practices to allow safe and timely return to the island for continuation of the works during the on-going
pandemic. The new pier was required to replace a redundant, much smaller jetty that had once served as the inter-island ferry berth.
Following relocation of the ferry to a new “roll on/roll off” berth, the original jetty had fallen into disrepair and TMS were therefore
Tappointed to construct a new pier to be used for the operation of the islands’ fish-farming vessels.
Working on behalf of Knights Brown, TMS were appointed to complete the marine works for the installation of new
pontoons at Rampion Offshore Wind Farm’s landing facility in the Port of Newhaven. TMS completed the piling works from marine
floating plant with a 135t crawler crane and 60t long-reach mobilised on the barge deck. The piles were installed using a PVE 25M
standard frequency vibro hammer. All of the new pontoons were successfully configured on the new piles as all of the piles were
positioned within small tolerance
As part of the wider Wellington Dock redevelopment works,
TMS were appointed by Walker Construction (Principal Contractor) as a
specialist Marine Contractor on the construction of a new vertical boat
hoist. 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.
The project was funded through Welsh Government’s Coastal Risk Management Programme (CRMP) with contribution from
Gwynedd Council who managed delivery along with their Consultancy partners YGC. TMS Ltd took on the project as Principal
Contractor: the works consisted of construction of a 240m long sheet piled quay wall,
Due to the increased frequency of cruise ships landing in Portland, in 2016 TMS were engaged by Portland Port Ltd (as the Principal Contractor) to design and construct two new mooring dolphins and connecting bridges for the mooring of cruise ships.
Design, construction and commissioning of a new marina in the Inner Harbour at Torquay, Devon.
