Canals and Lowland Rivers
We have completed sensitive civil engineering works such as dredging and towpath restoration, using soft revetment techniques in place of sheet piling where applicable. Many of these schemes are driven by the need to provide restored habitat for protected species, such as water voles, whilst addressing long term stability.
Many of our products such as coir rolls and pallets can be used to protect river banks whilst re-vegetating the site naturally.
