In late August 2018, TMS commenced work to stabilise the river bank adjacent to the North Devon railway line near Newton St Cyres. The riverbank and railway embankment were being scoured out by turbulent river flow, and the abutment of an adjacent multi-span masonry arch road bridge that crossed both the railway line and the river was also indicating signs of erosion.
Employed by Fort Bovisand Developments Ltd, TMS worked closely with the scheme designer, Red Rock Geoscience, to successfully complete the vital stabilisation works to the cliff face approaching Fort Bovisand, a former casemated gun battery constructed in the 1860s for the protection of Plymouth Sound.

This was achieved through the construction of a new slipway.
