Established in 1136, Aberdeen Harbour is Britain’s oldest existing business. The Aberdeen Harbour Expansion Project is a £400 million development of infrastructure to increase the South Harbour’s berthage, offer deeper and stronger quays and significantly increase its lay-down area to handle greater sized vessels (up to 300 metres in length).

Situated in Carlisle, Cumbria, the River Eden railway viaduct recently required an urgent repair solution to the deteriorating riverbed condition, where trains were having to operate at reduced speeds of 20mph over the Victorian and 1940s-built structures.

Dubbed ‘London’s Super Sewer’, Thames Tideway Tunnel is the biggest infrastructure project ever undertaken by the UK water industry. Designed to upgrade London’s 150-year-old sewer network, originally built for a population less than half its current size, during heavy rainfall the existing infrastructure was releasing millions of tonnes of untreated raw sewage into the River Thames each year. The new 25 km solution would intercept wastewater and storm water to divert it into plants in a bid to clean up the river.

The Great Western main line runs westwards from London Paddington to Penzance and is a vital link for transport, tourism and freight movements. It’s the only line running to the south-west of England. In February 2014, the collapse of the Dawlish seawall (due to a sizeable storm) severed the whole of the south-west peninsula from the rest of the country for eight weeks, and it took 300 people and more than £30m to put right.

The Marazion to Penzance coastal footpath is situated in one of the most scenic parts of the U.K and is an area used by residents and visitors alike, meaning all-season access is required.

The original structure was closed in 2012 and eventually demolished by contractors Raymond Brown Construction as part of the rebuilding process.

Sika® Watertight Concrete was used to keep water both in and out of the new Survivex headquarters, which has recently opened in Dyce, Aberdeen, gateway to the North Sea oil fields. This state of the art, offshore training facility, boasts a modern, professional training environment featuring two purpose built pools, equipped with helicopter underwater escape training apparatus.
