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.
As part of Somerset’s flood defences, TMS were called in to replace a failing outfall head wall along the bank
of the estuary at Tuckett’s Clyce in Somerset. Using 16m steel sheet piles, TMS constructed a new cofferdam
head wall directly in front of the original head wall, therefore allowing safe demolition of the failing
structure. In addition to the sheet piles, additional anchor piles were installed and attached with steel tie
bars to ensure no movement could occur.
TMS were engaged by Interserve to commence
works in November 15 to demolish the existing
timber fish quay and construct a replacement steel
sheet piled marine structure on the popular Back
Beach area of Teignmouth, Devon. The location
of the site meant that the works took place in
very close proximity to residential properties and
beach users. Construction methods, working
hours and selection of plant was therefore of
critical importance so as not to adversely disturb
neighbours to the site and affect the peaceful
enjoyment of the beach by the local community
and tourists.
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
TMS Maritime were awarded the Design and Build contract for the restoration and refurbishment works to Newquay Harbour’s North Pier.
The historic North Pier is constructed of mortared granite masonry, built in the mid 19th century and is Grade 2 listed. The Pier extends from
North Quay Road approximately 70m out into Newquay Harbour. The Quay / Pier is 16m wide and the Pier height increases from 6.5m to
9.9m above adjacent beach level.
TMS were instructed to remove an existing 20m long wooden jetty & a 20mx10m concrete slipway at Ghyll Head on Lake Windermere and
replace with new
Private developer Eagle One were
commencing development of this key site in
Exmouth, adjacent to Mamhead Slipway, to
provide luxury accommodation on the
waterfront. To facilitate this, the existing
sheet piled quay wall required strengthening
to accommodate the extra loading from the
new structures.
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.
