Dartmouth Higher Ferry Cofferdams
For Dean & Dyball
The Higher Ferry in Dartmouth is served by slipways on opposite sides of the River Dart. Both slipways required extending, which necessitated installing sheet piled cofferdams as temporary works.
Dartmouth Lower Ferry Cofferdams
For Dyer & Butler
The Lower Ferry in Dartmouth is served by two slipways, one on each bank of the river. Remedial and extension works to the slipways were required for the ferry, which is operated by South Hams District Council.
New Slipway, Brownsea Island, Poole
For National Trust
A new slipway for the National Trust at Brownsea Island.
Padstow Harbour Slipway Wall Repair
For Padstow Harbour
4 weeks
TMS were approached by Padstow Harbour Commissioner with concerns that the wall adjacent to their main harbour slipway was in disrepair with spalling render and exposed reinforcement. This presented a hazard to the general public as it was the boarding facility for both the local ferry and other marine craft.
Lifeboat Slipway, Porth Dinllaen, N.Wales
For R.N.L.I.
September 2013
Upgrade of the existing lifeboat station to house and launch the new Tamar class lifeboat.
Slipway Extension
For Babbacombe Corinthian Yacht Club
A series of severe winter storms over recent years has reduced the beach level at Babbacombe by over one metre. This meant that the end of the existing slipway was left approximately one metre above beach level, making the launching of boats a difficult and hazardous activity.
Landing Craft Slipway, Devonport Dockyard
For Mansell
A £25m complex at Devonport Dockyard has been built for the Ministry of Defence to provide services for the landing craft and assault boats of 539 Assault Squadron Royal Marines. A critical factor in this development was to provide the ability for the Landing Craft Air Cushion (hovercraft) and regular Landing Craft to be removed from the water. This was achieved through the construction of a new slipway.
