WE ARE THE ROTHEN GROUP
Health & Safety First
Health & Safety is of paramount importance to us and each team member is uniquely trained and experienced to operate a range of equipment and undertake a range of civil engineering tasks on the waterways. This means each multi-skilled operative has a unique understanding of the marine environment and the associated risks.
Lifting Legends
We have launched our own in house mentoring scheme, 'LIFTING LEGENDS'. Each team has a lifting legend who has:
More experience in a range of lifts.
Additional training to make them competent to respond to dynamic changes in lifting operations.
Mentor our fully trained but less experienced team members.
Input into how to adapt our training programme and lift plans to be more applicable and relevant to the job.
Work with clients and staff in unusual lifts such as lock gates, bridges, piling works etc.
LEGENDS
Lifting Legends
Innovation is a core value of The Rothen Group and we have identified people that are going above and beyond, and therefore decided to have our ‘inspirational innovators’.

Preventing Siltation: Best Practices for River and Canal Sediment Management
Sediment is a natural part of healthy waterways. It carries nutrients downstream, supporting ecosystems before eventually reaching the sea. It only becomes a problem when excessive quantities accumulate faster than they can be transported away.
What Does Dry Weather and Drought Mean for UK Canals and Waterways?
Learn how drought affects the UK’s canal network, from falling water levels and closures to wildlife risks, infrastructure damage, and water-saving measures.
Canal Bridge Maintenance: What’s Involved in Preserving Waterway Heritage?
Canal bridges are some of the defining spots along British waterways. While canals might only be around 200 years old, these feats of industrial-era engineering are monuments to the early industrial revolution. Made from local brick, stone, and clay, they require ongoing maintenance to keep them stable and secure.
