Scour control

Comprehensive Scour Control Solutions

At Northern Divers (Eng) Ltd, we understand the devasting effect that scour can have on underwater environments. Scour, or the displacement of sand, silt and soil on the seabed, is affected by the relentless forces of nature. The environmental power of currents, tides and storms are constantly reshaping beaches, rivers and seabeds.

At Northern Divers, we are deeply aware that the power of nature exacerbates erosion and compromises the stability of submerged structures. Our experienced team has the skills to protect our seabeds, shores and coastal structures from the threats of scour.
