River and coastal erosion

Neither coastal nor river bank erosion are new to this country. However with the climate changes both are becoming more pronounced and indeed are threatening many aspects of our daily life, land, buildings roads and rail networks.

As well as being fluent in the use of gabion baskets, timber groins and reinforced concrete, we have hauled and placed hundreds of thousands of tonnes of armour rock.

With over 30 years’ experience in this type of work, our operators are well trained in the intricacies of both handling and placement of armour rock, individually weighing up to 5 ton.

Over the years we have successfully carried out projects for the following: Scottish office, Highland council, Network rail, First engineering, Strathmore estate, Brora River Board, Helmsdale River Board, Gordonbush Estate, Kintradwell Estate, Lord Strathnaver.
