Halcrow has an in-depth understanding of river engineering, including hydraulic, geomorphological, and ecological, treating river channels sympathetically and balancing the forces in operation.
This experience allows us to select the most appropriate modern river engineering techniques and deliver outstanding schemes.
Our engineering work encompasses in-channel structures, gates and weirs, hard and soft bank protection and realignment.
