Beach Nourishment

Beaches erode, and hard defences are not always the right answer. We restore and hold beaches using sand replenishment, control structures and softer alternatives, chosen for the sediment behaviour of the site.

Capabilities

Beach Restoration and Renourishment

We replenish eroded beaches with compatible sand to restore the profile and maintain a working sediment buffer against wave attack.

Breakwaters and Groins

Where sand will not stay in place, we design and build structures that interrupt longshore transport and hold nourished material on the beach.

Coastal Erosion Assessment

Before committing to a scheme, we assess and forecast erosion using field survey and predictive modelling, so the nourishment interval is known in advance.

Living Shorelines

Where conditions allow, we use natural elements to control erosion, keeping habitat value alongside coastal defence.

Alternative Marine Structures

Artificial reefs and submerged breakwaters reduce wave energy before it reaches the shore, with less visual and ecological impact than a seawall.

Habitat Restoration and Conservation

Coastal works sit inside living reef systems. We build conservation measures into schemes to protect marine habitat during and after construction.
