Our service to you

Much of our work in the marine industry involves transporting heavy and oversized materials and equipment to and from different sites. Utilising our fleet of tractor units teamed with specialised trailers, we ensure the safe and timely delivery of these items, which is critical for maintaining project schedules and operational efficiency.

The lifting services we provide involve the use of cranes, hoists and other lifting equipment to move heavy objects both vertically and horizontally on marine sites. These services are vital for installing and positioning large structural components, such as shipyard gantries, dockside cranes and floating platforms. Our skilled operators ensure that these heavy lifts are performed safely and accurately, minimising risks and ensuring the stability and durability of the infrastructure.

Our groundworks services are fundamental in the marine industry for preparing and stabilising sites. This includes excavation, dredging, foundation laying, and site preparation activities. We can provide the expertise and machinery necessary for extensive earth-moving tasks, which are crucial for building resilient marine structures that can withstand harsh environmental conditions.

Integrated approach

We can provide an integrated approach to marine projects, ensuring all aspects are coordinated efficiently. This integration reduces delays, optimises resource use and enhances overall project management. offering a single point of contact for multiple services allows us to streamline communication and simplify logistical planning, contributing to smoother project execution.

Safety and compliance

Safety is paramount in the marine industry and we consistently adhere to strict safety protocols and regulatory requirements, conducting thorough risk assessments and implementing safety plans to protect our staff, customers and the public. Compliance with environmental regulations is also critical, particularly in marine settings where construction activities can impact local ecosystems and water quality.
