Ryall and Ripple Wharfs

Client:  Cemex (formally RMC)

Approx. value:  £1m

Duration:  16 weeks

Construction of two sheet piled wharfs to facilitate barge shipments of material on the River Severn between an existing quarry at Ryall and a new facility at Ripple, some two miles downstream

Commercial barges are now a familiar site on the River Severn in Worcestershire transporting aggregates between Ripple quarry and our handling facility at Ryall. 

It is the first major freight traffic to flow on the waterway for many years.  The new wharves built to handle the freight traffic are expected to cut 340,000 lorry journeys over the next decade.
