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.

Blackpool Brook
For Sisk Rail
The unusually narrow harbour entrance at Littlehampton drains a catchment of 966km2 including the Arun’s main tributary, the Rother. The entrance to the harbour is protected from siltation through the presence of river training walls and piers at the mouth of the river, including the west training wall. These structures have intercepted beach drift since the earliest construction in 1736. Over the years these structures have been replaced to ensure the harbour remains operational, however these structures were, once again, nearing the end of their residual life. As such, there became an urgent requirement tore construct the 40m section of the damaged west training wall.
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.
