During the summer of 2022 extremely low reservoir levels caused slippage along the bank of Ardingly Reservoir, close to Ardingly Activity Centre. This resulted in significant deformation and movement of the retaining wall and the area behind it.

Working with Carmet and Hydropol, VolkerMarine Services provided marine services on the installation of a new hydroelectric power plant, being installed on the River Weaver. We used our Linkflote pontoons to transport a host of heavy plant and equipment from Acton Bridge to Dutton Weir.

In 2014, VolkerMarine Services was awarded a temporary works contract by Canary Wharf Contractors Limited to provide access to a constrained site at the western end of Canary Wharf’s middle dock, in London.

VolkerMarine Services was appointed by VolkerFitzpatrick to supply EZ Dock plastic pontoon sections, plastic cubes, access gangways and handrailing, for work being carried on the A31 Ringwood Road widening scheme. VolkerMarine Services also provided both access and demolition containment underneath two bridges.

In July 2020, VolkerMarine Services was awarded a contract by VolkerGround Engineering to supply a turnkey pontoon solution as part of emergency flood defence works in Grange-over-Sands, Cumbria.

VolkerMarine Services was subcontracted by George Leslie to supply Linkflote pontoons for the strengthening of the valve tower for the pedestrian footbridge at Kettleton Reservoir.

VolkerMarine Services was awarded a £250,000 contract by Farrans and Victor Buyck Steel Construction, to assist in the works on Sunderland’s New Wear Crossing over the River Wear.

To celebrate the passing of the Deregulation Act in April, which allows London residents to share their homes with travellers for up to 90 days a year, VolkerMarine Services has once again worked closely with brand activation contractor Star Events, to create a Linkflote pontoon solution that would float a house down the River Thames.

The right bank of the River Don between Mile Thorn Sidings and Long Sandal Lock, on the north east outskirts of Doncaster has a long history of instability. The Environment Agency had noted a failure of the river bank on a section between the River Don and the adjacent Stainforth and Keadby canal, which had been caused by a combination of erosion of the river bank toe and high water pressures due to high river levels and leakage from the canal.

Star Events were contracted to provide and install two large video screens, on gantries over water, with a corporate entertainment facility inside the structure between the screens however the only access to this work was via the waterway within the Olympic Park.
