TMS as a leading marine contractor undertake many forms of Riverbank maintenance and corrosion repair for both private individuals and local authorities. Our previous portfolio within riverbank maintenance has covered waterside properties for private owners to works commissioned by the environment agency.
We take into account a vast range of factors throughout the lifecycle of the project such as; the length of bank that has eroded, the impact of materials used and construction techniques on the local environment and ways in which this can be minimised, and the most suitable type of structure for the environment in which it will sit.
TMS have the capabilities and available plant to offer:
- Dredging
- Clearance
- Pipe laying
- Bank stabilisation & repair
- Residential
- Local Authority
Our Riverbank maintenance work is mostly commissioned if the ground is being eroded from boat wash, flooding or wave action.
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.
