Haydn Evans are reputable as technical experts in the field of Marine engineering. Led by Jonathan Hudson, our team have gained a wealth of knowledge and experience by working on a variety of projects across a range of sectors. These projects include ports, commercial enterprises, residential developments, industrial concerns and leisure operators . We are proud to have designed some high-profile projects, most notably, the refurbished pleasure pier at Felixstowe.
Haydn Evans have many years’ experience in the design of new jetties, piers and berths. These span the range of sectors from heavy industrial infrastructure servicing vessels up to 120,000 DWT with 14.5 metres draft through to pleasure piers and recreational facilities.
We can undertake the required investigations and hydraulic modelling, developing the design using materials and techniques appropriate to the location, environment and other constraints. Shore and river bank protection schemes may comprise ‘hard’ defences such as steel sheet piling, reinforced concrete wave walls or concrete revetments, ‘soft’ defences have features such as beach replenishment, rock and coir rolls.
The interface between vessels and quay infrastructure is key to successful mooring. We work with vessel operators to ensure that appropriate fendering and mooring arrangements are designed to suit both the requirements of their vessel as well as the civil infrastructure of the berth.
We have undertaken numerous assessments of existing quay structures and associated suspended decked areas for abnormal loads. These may typically be due to wind farm construction projects, loadings from cranes, etc. The assessments are based on a review of, where available, record information which is combined with onsite surveys and inspections of the existing structure. Often the assessments can be concluded by calculation, but sometimes onsite load testing and monitoring is required.
Haydn Evans are renowned for their experience in the inspection, assessment and the design of repairs for infrastructure both in the marine and freshwater river environments. We have worked with clients ranging from private landowners through to contractors, developers and statutory authorities. We can undertake inspections and surveys of marine and river assets using techniques appropriate to the often difficult access that is available. We can then undertake an assessment of the structure and depending on the outcome of the assessment can design repairs to suit. Following completion of the design we deal with the consents and gaining approval for the works from the relevant approving authorities. Previous projects have included assets such as river walls, piers, jetties, flood defences and trash screens.
We can undertake the design of dredging works and are competent in dealing with the appropriate consents for gaining approval for the works, from the relevant approving authorities.
We have experience in the design of heavy duty pavements which are commonly located within port environments but also located in other facilities where heavy loads are handled. We can provide a comprehensive design service for such facilities including the design of associated infrastructure such as drainage, lighting, provision for services, weighbridges, security features, etc. Where heavy duty paving systems have failed we can arrange for the necessary investigations and prepare schemes for remediation.
Following inspection work that deemed part of the length of platform 1 beyond economic repair, an effective design was successfully developed within stringent timescales
