Loch Fyne, Scotland

Now recognised as an important part of our natural heritage, rivers provide rich habitats, they are essential for many water supplies, they provide a source of renewable energy, they provide a means of transport and they are attractive features. Rural, urban and industrial developments have however impacted many rivers. These have included changes to the river flows, damage to the channels, loss of habitats and aquatic life, pollution to the water and general loss of appearance of the rivers. Our work aims to continue using rivers for providing drinking water, power and irrigation while protecting and restoring the rivers to be as natural as possible.

Glen Garry, Scotland

Much of our work is now focused around the development of small scale hydro-power schemes. Using our experience of river systems and our specialist skills we assess hydro potential, monitor river flows, undertake environmental surveys and obtain the necessary consents. So far we have been involved in over 50 hydro schemes including 8 which we project managed through to planning consent.
