Bank Protection Services

Protecting the Banks that Hold It All Together.

Contract services

Preserving Edges. Protecting Infrastructure. Restoring Stability.

Canal and river banks are always under pressure – from water flow, weather, tree roots, burrowing animals, and human activity. Without the right intervention, erosion sets in. Banks slip, washwalls collapse, and critical infrastructure is put at risk.


Soon enough, a critical artery in the nation’s waterways is blocked.

The Rothen Group provides bank protection services for canals, rivers, and inland waterways across the nation. From heritage-sensitive sandbag walls to eco-friendly Nicospan systems and hard-structural gabions, we’ve got a practical solution for every site.


From soft edges to crumbling washwalls – we’ve got you covered.

FEATURED CASE STUDY

FEATURED CASE STUDY

Changing the Shape of the River Derwent, Derby

Following the storm seasons of 2023 & 2024, the EA set out to review its impact on the UK’s waterways. The River Derwent in Derby was flagged after a sonar scan of its navigation identified a scour hole – a direct result of heavy rainfall pushing sediment downstream.
