Our Flood & Coastal Defence Services
Marine Construction
Building robust flood and coastal defence systems requires careful planning, precise execution and a deep understanding of the environmental impacts of our work.
We work closely with clients from the earliest stages, offering support with test piling, pre-construction planning, and environmental mitigation strategies.
By managing every detail – from licensing and logistics to construction consultancy – we deliver tidal barriers, sea walls, and other critical infrastructure designed to protect areas from extreme weather conditions and rising sea levels while respecting local ecosystems.
01 Pre-Construction Planning
We manage test piling, equipment logistics, land preparation and strategy development to ensure a smooth construction process.
02 Licensing and Consent Support
Assisting clients in navigating regulatory requirements, we liaise with harbour authorities, landowners, government agencies and other stakeholders to secure necessary permissions, access and compliance, at the outset and throughout the project.
03 Aids to Navigation
Red7Marine can aid in the construction, deployment, repair, replacement and decommissioning of any and all navigation aids, from lighthouses and dolphins to channel markers and beacons. Depending on the structure and the client’s requirements, this can be either as a main contractor or in a support capacity with our specialist jack-up barges and marine plant.
Planned Maintenance
& Repairs
Red7Marine provides expert support for scheduled repairs and structural enhancements, focusing on critical elements such as piled structures, quay walls, and sea defences. By combining our marine expertise with a versatile jack-up barge fleet and equipment, we deliver cost-effective solutions that help clients maintain infrastructure resilience, avoid costly failures, and ensure continued protection for the communities these defences serve.
01 Scheduled Interventions
Our team are here to maintain the structural integrity of flood and coastal defences throughout their life, or to support third-party contractors in their work with our jack-up barge fleet. Our services focus on significant marine engineering projects such as piled structures, quay wall reinforcement, and the installation of new sea defences like rock armour.
02 Comprehensive Solutions
With the UK’s most diverse range of jack-up barges and an in-house piling team that is the best in the business, we provide seamless, cost-effective solutions without reliance on external suppliers, ensuring timely completion and manageable quality on every project.
Emergency
Response
When flood or coastal defences fail, swift and expert action is critical to minimise damage and protect public safety. Red7Marine specialises in emergency repairs, mobilising quickly to stabilise structures and prevent further harm to communities, property, and the environment. By utilising our in-house fleet of jack-up barges and marine plant, we can approach sites directly from the water, reducing disruption and ensuring efficient, safe repairs under even the most challenging conditions.
01 Rapid Mobilisation
When coastal defences fail it’s all about response times to protect people and property. Our emergency response team will swiftly deploy, minimising further damage and ensuring public safety – to enable us to stabilise and repair the structures effectively and efficiently.
02 Specialist Expertise
Our team’s understanding of marine conditions ensures that remediation work can be conducted quickly, safely and without the access and structural challenges of a landside repair. Our goal is to find and action a plan best suited to swiftly reinstating the protection that the land, lives and local community rely on.

Case Study:
Bridgwater Tidal Barrier
Working alongside framework partners Atkins and Kier, and in collaboration with the Environment Agency, we advised on piling methodology, environmental considerations, test piling and land piling, preparing the site for enabling works as this project moves forward.
