Gabion Retaining Walls
Gabion retaining walls combine structural integrity with environmental benefits through wire mesh baskets filled with locally sourced stone. These flexible systems accommodate ground movement while preventing hydrostatic pressure buildup. Our expertise spans small domestic installations to large-scale infrastructure projects requiring 3000m+ capacity. We provide full lifecycle support including technical design, site assessment, and installation guidance.
Reinforced Earthworks
Reinforced earth systems create stable structures using soil reinforcement techniques for bridge abutments and infrastructure projects. Our capabilities include design analysis to British standards, site-specific solutions, and installation of complex retaining systems. This approach delivers cost-effective, durable solutions for challenging terrain and heavy load requirements.
Renewable Energy Infrastructure
Specialist civil engineering for renewable energy projects including hydro schemes, wind farms, and biomass facilities. We deliver control buildings, access infrastructure, and water management systems. Our experience covers complete hydro scheme upgrades and modular plant room construction using sustainable building methods.
