Engineered erosion solutions for the UK’s most demanding water environments.
From dams and reservoirs to waterways and coasts, we protect infrastructure where land meets water. The UK's waterways continually face challenges including wave attack, scour, undermining, settlement, shifting sediment and water ingress. Our asphalt systems are cost effective, can be installed quickly and have been designed to flex in tandem with protecting and supporting flora and fauna. They have also demonstrated lifespans of 50 years.
Many UK dams are over a century old and located in high, exposed environments. To ensure long-term safety, the upstream face must be able to withstand persistent wave attack. Open Stone Asphalt (OSA) provides a resilient, low-maintenance solution for strengthening ageing upstream faces. At Abberton Reservoir, OSA was used as part of a scheme that increased capacity by 58%. At Megget Reservoir, asphalt grouting has delivered 28 years of zero-maintenance performance.
