Sector 05 · Ports, harbours and coastal defence
Waterfront and near-shore structures built for tidal working, marine plant and aggressive saline exposure.
Overview
Marine construction compresses every civil discipline into a tidal window. Piling rigs work off barges, concrete has to be placed and protected against salt attack, and survey control has to hold across open water.
We build ports, harbours, jetties, piers and coastal protection works using marine plant, and we design our concrete mixes and cathodic protection for a design life measured in decades of saline exposure.
Barges, floating cranes and over-water piling rigs operated by crews certified for marine working.
Low-permeability mixes, increased cover and cathodic protection specified for splash-zone exposure.
Works planned to tide tables and swell forecasts so critical pours land inside workable windows.
Self-delivered activities
These are the disciplines our own crews, plant and engineers carry out on this type of work.
Delivered work
Recent contracts delivered within this sector.
340 m of new quay wall on driven tubular piles, constructed from marine plant while adjacent berths remained operational.
Marine Construction enquiries
Send us the scope and we will put a marine construction team on it — estimators, planners and the engineers who would actually build it.
