Latest Projects
River Yealm Dredging and Remediation
TMS delivered dredging and remediation works adjacent to the former International Paint site at Newton Ferrers, within the environmentally sensitive River Yealm Estuary.
Operating under MMO Marine Licence, the works were critical to removing contaminated sediment and achieving specified remediation depths while safeguarding a major buried 600mm sewer main crossing the dredge zone. With the programme scheduled during winter months and within a tide-restricted estuarine environment, precise execution and strict environmental compliance were essential.
Matchams Riverbank Stabilisation
For Bournemouth Water
The raw water intake at Matchams is located on a fast flowing bend on the River Avon. The building was constructed C.1955 and provides a reliable source of raw water to the WTW in Bournemouth. Water depths are typically 3-5m with a high river flow rate, circa 3 knots, even when not in spate. Delivery requirements were to stabilise the existing riverbank and arresting the damaging scour whilst providing the least amount of environmental impact.
