Stornoway Rock Revetment Repair

The CAT385 Rocks at Brixham Breakwater

A Rock in the Exmouth Defence

Following a tidal surge in December 2013 widespread disruption was created along the east coast.  The surge entered the Humber and associated rivers and channels including the Dutch River so concerns were raised about flood risks. A permanent flood defence using a combination of sheet piling and rock armour was constructed to mitigate the risk.

Proud to be part of shortlisted Goole Flood Scheme.

The £45million scheme is one of the largest river flood defence schemes in the country.  A variety of long reach machines were required over
a 16-month period for multiple works on the scheme.

Rock armour placement at Greenport Hull.

Working on the Greenport development in Hull, the CAT 385 long reach excavator fitted with rock grab and GPS dig control system is placing rock armour.

Protecting the coastline in Guernsey required the placement of over 10,000 tonnes of rock armour ranging from 1 to 3 tonnes in size.

WM Plant returned to the breakwater project at Cowes for the final stage of works.
