Marine & Coastal Engineering    Home

Whether it is repairs, construction inspection or testing works our teams of access trained engineers are ideally suited to working in any marine environment.  Industrial roped access is particularly well suited to working in this harsh environment.  The ability to gain rapid access is particularly important in tidal locations.  By using ropes it is possible to completely clear the site between work shifts, this has proved particularly useful when carrying out operations on working docks, harbours and jetties.

Coastal installations frequently contain tanks, shafts, tunnels and other confined spaces.  At Up and Under Limited we have the trained personnel to work in these potentially hazardous locations, safely and effectively.

Another area of increasing concern is beach safety, we are experience in a variety of relevant works including safety audits, rock fall prediction, replacement of safety fencing on cliffs and steep slopes, netting and scaling of cliffs, revegetation

The following services should be of interest to the marine or coastal engineer:

Abseil inspection of harbour walls, jetties, sea defences, dock side cranes and other large water side structures.
Inspection, scaling and stabilisation of cliffs and slopes.
Underwater working.
Repairs to marine structures including experience of working with resistant hardwoods.
Emergency repairs.
Inspection of confined spaces, repairs, water pumping, etc.

Projects completed by The Up and Under Group include:

Compensation pumping from ballast chambers of state-of-the art ferry terminal pontoons.  Work successfully completed around an uninterrupted operating schedule.

Major refurbishment contract of stone quarry jetty.  Works included reconstruction of greenheart bullnose, installation of 8m long timber fenders, Denso cladding, design and fabrication of fixing brackets.  Works required the jetty to be in operation throughout.

Inspection of shafts, tunnels and chambers within harbour complexes.  Investigation of tidal outfalls, both sewers and power stations.

Safety inspections and scaling of rockfaces above structures and public areas.  Associated remedial works.

We understand the constraints of time and tide, call our office if you require assistance.
