Services

We are internationally acclaimed for the planning, design and operation of ports and maritime installations. We can support you at all stages of your maritime development from initial planning approvals and assessments through finance, design and implementation to the provision of maintenance and operational support. With over 100 years of maritime experience, we place great importance on understanding the pressures placed on the port and shipping sector; our philosophy is to treat your development issues and concerns as if they were our own.

Development on river and marine sites demands an unusually wide range of specialist planning and design skills. In turn, the waterside developer requires an ever wider range of specialist knowledge in relatively new areas of expertise. We provide all this expertise.

We are at the forefront of maritime technology, planning and infrastructure design. Our skills in this area are demonstrated by successful developments not only in the UK but worldwide.

Whether there is a need to build a brand new shipyard or upgrade an existing one, we have the expertise to provide a comprehensive shipyard service which includes feasibility studies, planning, environmental assessment and design. We also have particular expertise in the design of dock and lock gates.
