River Restoration

At JBA we understand rivers. We work with them to create naturalised landscapes. Our teams of highly qualified experts combine experience, skill, excellence and sensitivity to enhance rivers and benefit their communities.

We recognise the river and its floodplain as dynamic units responding to natural and imposed pressures and we work with them not against them. We use natural processes and create sensitive yet sustainable systems.  Our plans encourage natural river dynamics and embrace the local and wider environment and its ecology.   We are specialists in managing sediment to protect against flooding or damage to the environment.

We manage our projects from their initial stages right through to post project monitoring and management. You can be confident that our work will comply with the Water Framework Directive because we employ some of the country’s leading experts in this field.

We recognise the importance of those whose work and lives need or are affected by rivers. We have experienced teams who specialise in working alongside all interested parties to achieve agreeable results.

Recent and current clients include:

• Irwell Rivers Trust
• Lake District National Park Agency
• Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire Wildlife Trust
• Staffordshire Wildlife Trust
