Over the years, we have undertaken a wide range of prominent civil projects across the UK and internationally, ranging from the restoration of heritage marine structures to the design of new architectural footbridges.
We have broad experience in conservation engineering for a wide range of historic civil and marine structures, ensuring integrity and usability for future generations. Our team have the knowledge and expertise to provide you with a complete solution for all civil structure restoration and repair projects and help with a range of redevelopment challenges.
We also have a strong track record in the design of new civil structures, particularly architectural footbridges. Clients and architects alike value our combination of strong civil engineering background with a distinctive design flair and creative approach.

Case Studies
Examples of a couple of our projects can be seen in the project links below, demonstrating how our specialist knowledge in conservation engineering can help you achieve the best design and engineering outcomes for your project.
Case study: Clevedon Marine Lake – read about our work as the lead consultant on Clevedon Marine Lake, responsible for the restoration, conservation, repairs, and improvement of this 1920s tide-filled leisure lake situated on the Bristol Channel. The Clevedon Marine Lake restoration won the ICE Regional Award 2016. Please explore our portfolio to read about other case studies, or contact us for more project information.
Projects
Clevedon Marine Lake
Based on our experience in the design and conservation of civil and marine structures, Fenton Holloway was appointed as the lead consultant responsible for the restoration, major repair and improvement of the 1929 tide-filled leisure marine lake on the Bristol Channel.
The Bristol Cascades
Forming part of the City Centre Environmental Improvements, the Cascades scheme was designed to open up the harbour and provide an extensive pedestrian area. The originally proposed structural system proved inappropriate to a marine environment.
