It Takes Something Quite Special to Work in Tidal and River Environments
Suttle Projects have extensive experience working in environmentally sensitive coastal and river environments. An integrated approach with In-house specialists Suttle Piling and our own designers brings certainty and simplicity to ground engineering projects in the most complex of working environments. Doing the detailed analysis and design work ahead of time allows the Suttle Projects team […]
Committed to a Sustainable Future
Suttle Projects is experienced in working within SSSIs and environmentally sensitive locations. An environmental inventory is a vital part of the preparation for each project. This ensures we’ve identified sensitive habitats that we need to protect as well as opportunities to increase biodiversity through restorative planting. We aim to continuously shrink our environmental footprint by […]
Live Environments Call For Smarter Decision Making
Civil engineering projects are all about solving problems and effective decision making. These qualities are stretched further when work has to be carried out in a live working environment – where trains or traffic keep flowing, ships still move freely around ports, and water treatment plants carry on working. There are many sectors where operational […]
Why We Get Inspired Rather Than Daunted By Reactive Rail Repairs
Difficult access is more or less a given when you respond to a rail emergency such as a failed embankment, landslip or drainage failure. The failure will almost inevitably be in a remote location and access to the site may have to be through narrow lanes. Plant and materials might have to cross soft ground […]
Simplifying Cliff and Cutting Slope Stabilisation
Carefully managing the stabilisation of cliff faces, cutting and embankments require the very highest standards of quality and project management. Attention to detail and a thorough understanding of the potential ground risks associated with the changing properties of the cliff face structure during each phase is essential to guarantee safe and assured delivery. For example, […]

The event brought together a range of employers and organisations to give students valuable insight into different career paths and industries. Bower Grove School […]
Who Wouldn’t Want Lower Risk and More Efficient Civil Engineering Projects?
Rail is a demanding sector where performance and value for money are always in the spotlight. Project overruns are highly visible as well as disruptive. Budgets are constrained. And often there’s a need to act urgently and purposefully when an asset fails. These pressures drove Suttle Projects to develop our projects: simplified approach to delivery. […]
What Reliable Delivery Looks Like In Practice
No matter how complex or technically demanding the assignment, the Suttle Projects Team always expects to deliver fully compliant assets and minimise the impact of any project changes. Shouldn’t you expect the same on your projects? For Suttle Projects reliability is one of our four key principles in simplifying every aspect of every project. Reliability […]
Suttle Projects Secures Hayling Island Groyne Marker Replacement

Groyne Number 3 is located on the foreshore of Eaststoke Beach Hayling Island and is the most easterly marker beacon in a series of navigation markers. […]
Effective Water Management: The Cornerstone of Rail Resilience
If you asked most people what they thought the biggest causes of bridge failures were, they’d probably think of accidental impacts or physical deterioration of the structure. Few would think to look down to observe the scouring action of the watercourse being spanned. Yet that is often the root cause of the problem. Similarly with […]

The Disciplines Needed To Transform The Defence Estate Economically And Reliably
Looking at the strategic priorities for the defence estate – and hard facilities management in particular – it’s striking how many parallels there are with other critically-important aspects of our national infrastructure such as the rail network. Ageing infrastructure that needs significant investment to improve resilience and operational effectiveness, matching capacity to current and projected […]
