We have been commissioned to install a range of environmental reef units that will provide new marine habitat at Hengistbury Head as part of the ambitious Hengistbury Head Long Groyne Project. This project is a part of a 17-year Beach Management Scheme, with the original 1930’s long groyne being replaced & upgraded between April – October 2024. The groyne is vital to protecting the surrounding headlands and beaches from erosion and sea level rise.

Our shallow draft utility vessel Buffalo has been chartered by Bournemouth University’s Marine Archaeology team to help recover a number of unique artifacts recently discovered on the only known surviving wreck of an English Medieval commercial vessel, which sank off Studland Bay during the reign of Henry III. We have worked with the university’s archaeology team before and were thrilled to be asked to help with this historic project.

Our powerful, shallow draft, Damen Multicat Wind Lass and self-propelled spud leg pontoon Doreen Dorward, accompanied by deck pontoon barge JML5014, have been hard at work on the River Severn in Wales where they have been assisting in the installation of a new treated waste water outfall.
