Major Riverbank & Shoreline Works.

AFP carries out major revetment projects involving the removal of existing river banks and the creation of new embankments and shorelines.

Delivery combines heavy earthmoving machinery, specialist materials and GPS-controlled profiles to achieve accurate results against the project design.

Controlled removal and excavation of existing riverbank material as part of the agreed reconstruction works.

02

New Embankment Formation

Construction and shaping of new embankments to defined project profiles.

03

Shoreline Creation

Formation of new shorelines using specialist machinery and controlled material placement.

04

Geotextile Installation

Placement of geotextile layers as part of the engineered revetment build-up.

05

Armour-Layer Stone

Placement of armour-layer stone in accordance with the required design and profile.

06

GPS Machine Control

Accurate Profiles. Efficient Delivery.

AFP's previous Revetment Works page highlighted the use of machine GPS to follow the required designs and profiles throughout the works.

This allows operators to work against project information from the cab, supporting accuracy and efficient delivery during complex earthmoving and placement operations.

Specialist Machinery

Plant Built for Major Earthmoving.

AFP's previous Revetment Works page specifically highlighted specialist machinery used on these projects, including a Hitachi ZX350LC super long-reach excavator, Komatsu PC290LCI and Hydrema 922G dump trucks.

This combination supports excavation, long-reach placement, profile control and material movement across demanding revetment sites.
