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.
