Civils engineering showcased by Inland and Coastal

Specialising in design, manufacture and installation of commercial and leisure pontoons and concrete breakwaters, the company will highlight a series of recently completed commercial marine projects, while also welcoming back Living Seawalls researcher Jess Allen for a dedicated presentation.

As one of Europe’s leading commercial marine exhibitions, Seawork provides an ideal platform for Inland and Coastal to connect with ports, harbours, marina operators and marine contractors looking for practical water access solutions.

Recent standout projects

Among the company’s latest projects being highlighted at the show are the heavy duty pontoon installation at the Port of Milford Haven in Pembrokeshire and self-levelling gangway at X Berth in Guernsey, alongside specialist engineering projects at Banagher Swimming Pool and the award-winning Jeanie Johnston restoration project, both in Ireland.

“Seawork is always an important opportunity for us to meet directly with customers and industry partners, discuss the challenges facing ports and harbours and showcase the practical solutions we’re delivering across the sector,” said Bryan Stewart, Sales Manager at Inland and Coastal.

“This year we’re particularly looking forward to sharing some of the innovative pontoon designs and harbour infrastructure projects we’ve completed over the last 12 months.”

Stewart will also host a presentation on Wednesday 11 June at 4pm at Stand B9, where he will discuss several recently completed harbour projects and explore how strategic pontoon design can improve safety and operational efficiency, as well as maximising the potential for multifunctional use.

‘Greening the Grey’ with Living Seawalls

Inland and Coastal will also show off its involvement in the ‘Living Seawalls’ initiative.

Jess Allen, a PhD Student from the University of Plymouth, will present “Greening the Grey” on Tuesday 10 June at 4pm, exploring how eco-engineered marine infrastructure can help support biodiversity in coastal environments. Her presentation will include updates on recent Living Seawalls developments and insights into how nature-positive design is being integrated into marine engineering projects.

As the exclusive UK & Ireland manufacturer of Living Seawalls panels, Inland and Coastal produces the modular habitat panels using reclaimed waste material from its own pontoon and breakwater manufacturing processes, supporting circular economy principles while helping marine ecosystems thrive on traditionally hard coastal infrastructure.

“Sustainability is becoming an increasingly important consideration across the marine sector and Living Seawalls is a fantastic example of how engineering and ecology can work together,” said Jamie Twamley, Environmental Sustainability Engineer at Inland and Coastal. “We’re proud to support initiatives that not only protect and enhance coastal infrastructure but also contribute positively to marine biodiversity.”
