Coastal & River Control Works
Maccaferri’s Coastal and River Control Solutions
Human settlements near rivers and coasts face increased risks due to environmental changes and human activities. Maccaferri addresses these challenges using advanced engineering techniques, such as:
- hydraulic engineering for water flow management,
- erosion control to combat soil loss,
- retaining walls combined with soil reinforcement to ensure long-term stability and safety.
Innovative Engineering Since the XIX century
Maccaferri has been a leader in coastal and river engineering since reconstructing the River Reno’s banks over a century ago. We provide customized solutions by integrating tailor-made strategies for complex projects, eco-friendly materials with minimal environmental impact, and cutting-edge technology to harmonize human activities with the natural environment.
Sustainable Coastal Solutions
Our solutions are designed to address a range of coastal engineering needs, supporting sustainable development and protecting natural environments:
- Stabilization of coastal areas to prevent erosion and safeguard habitats
- Development of eco-friendly marine structures that minimize environmental impact
- Construction of robust drainage systems to manage water flow and reduce flood risks
- Slope stabilization solutions to increase resilience against soil movement and landslides
- Integration of sustainable practices to harmonize infrastructure with ecosystems
