TMS Marine Contractors ‘Extreme Weather’ services cover three areas:
Flood Defences
The greater propensity for ‘extreme weather’ in recent years, calls for new and upgraded defences against flood water, in both coastal and inland locations. TMS constructs sea walls, reinforces river banks, installs retaining piles and provides scour protection. Our services also include dredging and beach replenishment following extreme weather erosion. However, prior to any design and construction, TMS can provide full survey services using their team of commercially coded divers and survey vessel.
Flood Relief
Emergency call-outs and the rapid mobilisation of plant and skilled operators, has become a feature of Britain’s extreme weather conditions in recent years. TMS personnel are trained in rapid response deployment of assets in emergency situations.
Infrastructure Repairs
Clear-up operations inevitably require fast repair services, to ensure commercial and civilian disruption is minimised. TMS skilled personnel and specialist plant offer marine and civil engineering support services to ensure both public and commercial sector infrastructure is able to rapidly resume normal operations.
Latest Projects
Island Resilience – Coastal Defence Delivery Across the Isles of Scilly
For Council of the Isles of Scilly
TMS delivered and installed 20,000 tonnes of rock armour and 5,000 tonnes of sand across several beaches on the Isles of Scilly, located 28 miles off the Cornish coast. The works formed part of a climate adaptation and coastal defence initiative designed to protect low-lying island communities from sea-level rise and coastal erosion.
Exmouth Sea Wall Emergency Repairs
For East Devon Council
During a storm in October 2023, a 90m long section of the masonry sea wall on Exmouth sea front failed structurally. Fortunately, this failure was not catastrophic and was prevented from
being so by the emergency repairs that TMS implemented immediately after the storm had abated. Historically, there have been sand dunes in front of the sea wall providing it with
additional protection, but over time metres of sand have been lost making the wall vulnerable.
