Precision dredging in one of Devonβs most sensitive estuaries.
At Newton Ferrers, TMS delivered a dredging and remediation project within the River Yealm Estuary, removing 340mΒ³ of contaminated sediment under strict MMO Marine Licence conditions.
The challenge went beyond dredging. Tide-restricted working windows, severe winter weather and a live 600mm sewer main beneath the dredge zone demanded precise control.
Using 3D GPS-guided excavation, continuous survey verification and carefully coordinated barge operations, our team delivered the required remediation while protecting the buried asset.
The result: zero environmental or safety incidents and full compliance throughout.
