The Higher Ferry in Dartmouth is served by slipways on opposite sides of the River Dart. Both slipways required extending, which necessitated installing sheet piled cofferdams as temporary works.
The Lower Ferry in Dartmouth is served by two slipways, one on each bank of the river. Remedial and extension works to the slipways were required for the ferry, which is operated by South Hams District Council.

Following the survey completed by TMS, a 17m section of the stonewall protecting the property of Shallow Ford was in need of repair after years of erosion from the River Tillingbourne.
In late August 2018, TMS commenced work to stabilise the river bank adjacent to the North Devon railway line near Newton St Cyres. The riverbank and railway embankment were being scoured out by turbulent river flow, and the abutment of an adjacent multi-span masonry arch road bridge that crossed both the railway line and the river was also indicating signs of erosion.
Employed by Fort Bovisand Developments Ltd, TMS worked closely with the scheme designer, Red Rock Geoscience, to successfully complete the vital stabilisation works to the cliff face approaching Fort Bovisand, a former casemated gun battery constructed in the 1860s for the protection of Plymouth Sound.
TMS were approached by Padstow Harbour Commissioner with concerns that the wall adjacent to their main harbour slipway was in disrepair with spalling render and exposed reinforcement.
