Bridge scour is the removal of sediment such as sand and rocks from around bridge abutments or piers. Scour is typically caused by swiftly moving water that scoops out scour holes which compromises the integrity of a structure.
Commercial and Specialised Diving have assisted with various methods of scour protection throughout our 20 years of experience. A common solution to help prevent bridge scour is to install scour protection mattresses. These are large mattresses filled with grout/cement that are placed at the base of the bridge.
