Demolition and reconstruction of the Banjo Promenade, Torquay.
TMS were awarded a project by Bradford City Council to carry out repair and scour protection works on Baildon Bridge. The bridge was built in 1933 and is a main arterial route in to Bradford from the north and supports four lanes of traffic and public access.
In collaboration with our client Balfour Beatty, TMS not only delivered but exceeded client expectations completing repairs to East Pier and West Pier in the Yorkshire coast town of Whitby for Scarborough Council ahead of schedule.
Dimco a subsidiary of DEME, were instructed by their client NuStar Oil to demolish and re-build sections of the exiting shipping terminal jetties at the NuStar terminal at Grays, Gravesend on the River Thames. Prior to any new construction, the construction areas and berthing areas required a full UXO survey, with ALARP mitigation.
Fishing Trawler requiring immediate salvage, after running aground off the entrance to Teignmouth, Devon.
Following the failure of a 30m section of riverside railway embankment that closed a Network Rail railway line, TMS were originally brought in to consult on a solution to repairing the railway embankment as quickly as possible.
The banks of the tidal River Mersey in Warrington, showed severe signs of flood damage, causing subsidence at a number of locations along it’s banks.
The contract required immediate response to a relief programme, developed to respond to unprecedented flooding of the Somerset levels, as widely publicised in the international news media. Hundreds of homes and many farms in the surrounding villages were overwhelmed with floodwater and overflowing foul water, following a series of heavy storms over a number of weeks.
Extensive flooding in recent years has started to erode the footings of some of Network Rail’s river bridges.
The contract required TMS Maritime to repair a bulging, misaligned existing random stone and sheet pile sea wall, which had been breached during heavy storms in early 2014 and was in danger of collapsing.
Extensive flooding in recent years had eroded the foundations of the level crossing and the river bank, supporting the main line rail track running only 8 metres from the water’s edge. Scour protection and a new river bank of rock armour was needed, to prevent further track movement and level crossing subsidence.
Salmon’s Brook has been associated in the past with significant flooding both historically and more recently back in October 2000.
In recent years, scour has resulted in the river bank failing, with bank material falling into the river and this therefore required remediation.
