Sea defences, Guyana
Weir on River Brett, UKAt Mott
MacDonald we are able to offer an extensive range of services in
coastal and river defences.
These range from major flood alleviation schemes to bank
protection works and studies of dredging requirements.
Much of our experience has been in relation to the study, design
and implementation of flood alleviation schemes in fluvial, tidal
and coastal environments. However, our river and coastal engineers
have also worked on river diversions, river training works, scour
protection works at bridges, river amenity improvements, river flow
gauging stations, coast protection and flow control
structures.
The keys to our ongoing success have been the specialist expertise
of our staff and our ability to build successful multi-disciplinary
teams which provide comprehensive and wide ranging solutions and
deliver successful projects to our clients.
Recent schemes include:
