Project complete ✅ Thames Tideway Tunnel Decommissioning 🌊

After more than three years of specialist marine engineering on the Thames, we’re thrilled to celebrate the completion of our £23m programme for Tideway at Chambers Wharf and King Edward Memorial Park, one of the UK’s most ambitious infrastructure projects.

Working collaboratively with Costain, Vinci and Bachy (CVB), Thames Tideway, and key consenting authorities, we carefully reinstated a functioning tidal habitat while ensuring the riverbank's long-term resilience. This helped protect new river infrastructure, restore tidal habitat, and deliver lasting environmental benefits for the Thames.

A fantastic achievement by everyone involved in delivering this complex project safely. Visit the project page of our website for the full story.

The baked goods were so good that we raised over £250, all of which goes towards supporting those living with cancer.

Thanks to all our bakers, especially Lynn Puttock for the array of tasty treats, Leo Panapakidis for the cakes and flowers, and to the whole team for their support in raising money for such a worthwhile cause.

We value the mental health support The Lighthouse Charity provides to the construction industry.

As part of their tour, their team recently visited two of our sites - Sizewell C and Dunsfold Park Remediation Site - sharing real-life stories and encouraging open discussions about the Three Pillars of Wellbeing: Mental, Physical and Financial. It was powerful to hear them open up and emphasise the importance of strong communication with colleagues and friends.

We appreciate the round-the-clock support they offer. If you work in the construction industry and are struggling with any of the three areas, please reach out to them on 0345 605 1956. This service is also available to family members.
