The clearest comparison of erosion systems available

Built from real-world project data, this guide breaks down the materials, methods and mechanics behind 11 of the UK’s most widely used erosion systems. Inside you'll find:

  • Technical profiles of 11 erosion systems — including asphalt, grouted rock, sea walls and more.

  • Installation methods and construction challenges for each system.

  • Known failure points, design constraints and environmental factors.

  • Suitability by wave height, slope angle and site type.

  • Full comparative tables for design, buildability, and site compatibility.

Delivering solutions across the UK and beyond

"Their practical experience in successfully pattern grouting sea defence works throughout Europe has added to our confidence in accepting this as a robust long term solution to the Megget problem.”

Engineering Design Manager

"We are delighted to have finished the work on the revetment at Canvey Island. This project is essential to managing the risk of flooding for thousands of people, homes and businesses."

Operations Manager

"This project has given us a unique opportunity to extend the life of these flood defences, and help to preserve the special qualities of the Broads. We now have a more sustainable flood defence system which will reduce the burden on future generations for its upkeep."
