Our Marine Construction Capabilities

Sheet piling works for marine infrastructure Union Dredgers

Sheet Piling

Sheet piling is a proven marine construction technique used to create strong retaining structures, stabilise shorelines, and support waterfront developments. Union Dredgers provides sheet piling solutions for ports, jetties, quay walls, marine terminals, and coastal infrastructure projects where ground stability and structural integrity are essential. Our experienced team manages installation with precision while considering site conditions, tidal influences, and environmental requirements, delivering durable solutions that protect assets and support long-term marine development.

Geotextile Tubing

Geotextile tubing offers an efficient and environmentally responsible solution for shoreline protection, land reclamation, erosion control, and coastal stabilisation. Using high-strength geotextile materials, we construct engineered containment systems designed to withstand challenging marine conditions. Every installation is planned according to project-specific requirements, helping minimise erosion, improve coastal resilience, and provide long-lasting protection for marine infrastructure and surrounding environments.

Our solutions are tailored to site conditions, ensuring effective coastal protection while maintaining the long-term performance and durability of marine assets.
