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’.

What is a Weir? And What is Their Purpose?
Weirs are a common sight along rivers in the UK. They’re used as part of water management, regulating upstream water levels, reducing flood flows, and preserving habitats.
Dredging Regulations and Permits You Need to Know
Dredging is a necessary part of waterways management. Whether it’s a lake, river, or canal, sediments and other debris gradually accumulate, causing problems for boats and flooding.
Fishing Lake Maintenance Top Tips
Few things are more relaxing than a day spent by a well-stocked fishpond. The sun bright in the sky, a gentle breeze rippling the water, a small flock of ducks quaking and swimming among the reeds. It’s an angler’s dream. But it can all go so wrong. Ropy algae, stagnant water, suffocating fish. Poor maintenance can transform a beautiful, serene fishpond into something that looks more like a bog.
Mechanical Dredging vs Hydraulic Dredging: Which is Better?
Dredging is the practice of removing sediments and debris from the bottom of lakes, rivers, harbours, and other water bodies. Over time, sediments like sand and silt are carried by waterways downstream. Sedimentation gradually fills up the water body, decreasing its depth, and creating challenges for navigability and increasing the risk of flooding.
