Flood risk management
VolkerStevin has vast experience in the defence and coast construction of flood defence projects throughout the UK in both urban and rural areas.
Flood and coastal defence projects include:
- Sheet pile and reinforced concrete flood walls
- Earth embankments
- River re-alignment
- Habitat and wetland protection and creation
- De-mountable flood protection systems
- Lock gate installation and refurbishment
- Hard and soft landscaping
- Mechanical, instrumentation and electrical
Our flood defence projects are frequently undertaken in highly sensitive areas where there are environmental constraints or where work is adjacent to residential or business areas.
We take great pride in our careful approach to both the environment and third parties.
Many of our flood defence projects have been recognised through national construction and engineering awards.
