Case Studies - Canals

Although most of the work that Cain Bio-Engineering Ltd undertakes is designed specifically for each location, we have produced a suite of generic designs for canals.
 
The problems of bank damage by boats and anglers is commonplace and the environment similar in most locations



Extensive work with British Waterways over a number of years has led to the production of a series of in-house designed solutions that counter most erosion and public safety issues encountered on canals whilst improving appearance and biodiversity.

In 2006 Cain Bio-Engineering Ltd. launched its Cain Type II designs. This suite of designs provides shorter project programme durations and lower costs whilst refining our previous designs that have been proven over the last ten years.
