Waterway Maintenance

Specialists in delivering tailored, ongoing watercourse maintenance programmes for land managers, riparian landowners and developers.

One-off Projects

Kick-start waterway maintenance with one-time support, setting the tone for your team’s ongoing efforts.

Ongoing Maintenance

The best results come from regular care so we define tailored plans to support the longevity of our projects.

Asset Management

We create a maintenance strategy for all assets, repairing damage from the elements and general wear and tear.

Reactive waterway maintenance

We have developed a ‘little and often’ model of maintenance, delivering tailored, ongoing watercourse maintenance programmes with current clients including the Environment Agency, Canal and River Trust and Yorkshire Water.

Specialist flood management solutions

Our team works across sites on both major and minor flood defence projects, flood aleviation initiatives, emergency flood defence reponse and flood defence maintenance for local authorities, riparian landowners and developers.
