TMS as a leading marine contractor have previously constructed sea walls and quays in highly challenging and demanding conditions. We understand that they not only need to be structurally sound and built to withstand adverse weather whilst protecting what they have been designed to protect, but also must be aesthetically pleasing.
Whether working from land, or from a float, TMS are able to construct sea walls and quays from both man-made or natural, indigenous materials.

Shoring up Appledore’s Middle Dock Quay Wall
For Torridge District Council
TMS Maritime was appointed by Torridge District Council to design and construct structural enhancement works to the quay wall at Appledore, North Devon. The project forms a key part of preparations for the new Appledore Clean Maritime Innovation Centre (ACMIC), a landmark development for sustainable marine technology. By reforming and strengthening the existing quay, the works have created a safe and resilient waterfront, capable of supporting a wide range of marine operations and vessels.
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.
