Inland Bridges – Scour Protection
Bridges can suffer from scour when flow conditions change, or rivers go into flood. This scour can threaten the structural integrity of bridges if allowed

Bridge Scour Protection
Bridge scour protection appears to be increasingly needed to protect foundations from more extreme flooding events. However, the invert level at which the protection is
Berth Scour Protection for Single and Twin Propellers
Quay structures can be reduced by design using thinner scour protection. The performance of thinner protections as ‘Sealed’ or ‘Open’ to flow entry is described.
Berth Scour Protection for Modern Vessels
The increase in vessel size and vessel types along with new propulsion systems has created an increase in the scour action to berth beds. Traditionally,
Fabric Formwork Systems Used In Marine Construction
Fabric formwork systems are regularly used underwater to achieve controlled and reliable concrete and grout construction. Marine construction is much more onerous than construction on
Foundations to Precast Marine Structures
Precast concrete elements are increasingly used in the construction of Maritime Structures. They offer the prospect of efficient unit production and rapid construction, but that
Berth Scour Protection For Fast Ferry Jets
Vehicle carrying Fast Ferries have often caused significant erosion and damage to berths since their introduction in 1990. During berthing, the high speed propulsion jets
Concrete Mattress Used for Berth Scour Protection
Geosynthetic concrete mattress systems are regularly used underwater to provide reliable in situ concrete protection. As vessel sizes and propulsion types advance, bed scour velocities
Slope Protection Under Piled Quays
This paper considers scour protection and construction methods for open piled quays. The Land Infill construction method for piled wharves will be outlined, which can
