Hydrography
A busy, safe river depends on our efficient Marine Services department. Our team ensures that channels are clearly marked with lights and buoys, that any obstructions are quickly removed, that the driftwood is removed from the river. They also provide a base for boat lift out and repairs.
Our hydrography team's depth of knowledge and array of tools allow them to provide essential information for safe navigation of the tidal Thames.
