Northern Divers (Eng) Ltd brings over 60 years of expertise to Riverbank and Water Course Remediation. Our team specialises in protecting critical infrastructure against erosion and collapse. We expertly manage the complexities associated with riverbank reconstruction, which involves securing assets such as utility pipelines and bridge structures that are susceptible to the damaging impact of erosion.
Safety and precision are at the core of our operations. We can take a project from its initial enquiry, through the design stage and permit application, all the way to final delivery and complete project management under CDM regulations. Our well-trained team is committed to delivering quality results while upholding the highest safety and environmental care standards.
Understanding the diverse needs of riverbank stabilisation requires a detailed grasp of both soft and hard engineering techniques. At Northern Divers, our experience encompasses various methods tailored to each site's specific conditions.
By collaborating with environmental regulatory bodies such as the Environmental Agency, SEPA, and NRW, we can deliver the correct sustainable solution, both in soft and hard engineering. This ensures the future of the asset while also being sympathetic to the environment.
We design and implement solutions that effectively mitigate erosion, enhance stability, and prolong the lifespan of riverbanks and watercourses. Whether employing advanced geotechnical installations or integrating natural plant-based systems, our approach is always geared towards creating resilient and sustainable riverbank structures.
Our comprehensive riverbank and water course remediation services are designed to address a wide range of challenges. At Northern Divers, we provide effective solutions for erosion control and bank stabilisation. Our skilled team is committed to delivering quality results while maintaining the integrity of the natural environment and the assets it supports.
Northern Divers offers quality Gabion Basket Installation, which is ideal for stabilisation. Our teams use wire baskets filled with rock to help manage water flow and prevent further erosion.
We use bioengineering techniques such as coir rolls and vegetation matting. This approach promotes natural vegetation growth, enhancing the stability and appearance of riverbanks while providing ecological benefits.
Durable and versatile, Rip Rap stones are strategically placed to shield banks from water erosion. Their irregular size and shape absorb and dissipate the energy of incoming water, reducing the impact on the bank.
These solutions offer immediate erosion control and are perfect for areas requiring robust structural support. They are especially effective in high-flow areas with significant erosion potential, providing a long-lasting protective barrier.
Natural coir rolls and protective matting are excellent for promoting vegetation and protecting against water scour. These biodegradable products support new plant growth while gradually integrating into the soil structure, improving overall bank stability.
Our team expertly installs concrete canvas, forming a durable waterproof layer that protects against erosion and weather elements. This innovative material conforms to the contours of the bank, providing a reinforced protective layer that is quick to install and requires minimal maintenance.
