Delivering coastal and marine resilience

Our coastal communities face growing climate-related challenges. More extreme weather patterns and sea-level rises bring more regular and intense flooding and stormwater incidents, impacting water quality, coastal erosion, and resilience nationwide.

Waterfront and port facilities, waterways and inlets, offshore infrastructure, and communities require innovative environmental protection and restoration solutions for a sustainable future.

We understand coastal engineering and processes as well as their interaction with the built environment. We can provide feasibility studies and design cost/benefit analysis as well as services in marine ecology, water quality assessment, environmental planning and permitting, and construction monitoring, mitigation, and response.

Regardless of your industry or sector, we can help you deliver sustainable, resilient projects through our integrated solutions and system-thinking approach to water cycle processes.

Working with nature to protect and restore our coastal and marine environment

Our teams work together and apply their expertise to make communities more resilient and protect the integrity of the environment. From assessments and permitting to mitigation, restoration, monitoring, and more, we keep coastal communities healthy—prioritising nature-based solutions.

Integrated approach to coastal and marine management

Working closely with developers, operators, regulators, and other stakeholders, we help protect sensitive areas—including bathing waters, shellfish waters, marine conservation zones, and marine habitats. Our expertise covers all types of marine discharges from wastewater, agriculture, industry, and desalination to power stations, ballast water, offshore structures (e.g., drilling muds), and aquaculture.

Benacre and Kessingland flood risk management project

Perfect Circle, a property, construction, and infrastructure consultancy appointed us to deliver the detailed design for a flood risk management and intertidal habitat creation project on the Suffolk coast. Read More

See the Wrangle Sea Bank

Fly over the Wrangle Sea Bank where we excavated over 200,000 cubic metres (over 7,063,000 cubic feet) of material to raise the defences and create 10 hectares (24.7 acres) of wildlife habitat.
