Inland and Coastal highlights harbour infrastructure at Seawork 2026

Inland and Coastal will return to Seawork 2026 to highlight a selection of recent harbour infrastructure projects and provide updates on its involvement in marine sustainability initiatives.

The company, which designs, manufactures and installs commercial and leisure pontoons as well as concrete breakwaters, will exhibit at Stand B9 during the three-day event at Southampton’s Mayflower Park, which runs 9 to 11 June 2026. Alongside details of recently completed projects, visitors will be able to attend a sustainability presentation from Living Seawalls researcher Jess Allen.

Projects featured on the stand include a heavy-duty pontoon installation at the Port of Milford Haven in Pembrokeshire, a self-levelling gangway at X Berth in Guernsey and engineering work at Banagher Swimming Pool and the Jeanie Johnston restoration project in Ireland.

Bryan Stewart, sales manager at Inland and Coastal, says: “Seawork is always an important opportunity for us to meet directly with customers and industry partners, discuss the challenges facing ports and harbours and showcase the practical solutions we’re delivering across the sector.

“This year we’re particularly looking forward to sharing some of the innovative pontoon designs and harbour infrastructure projects we’ve completed over the last 12 months.”

Stewart will also present at Stand B9 on Wednesday 11 June at 4pm. His session will look at several recently completed harbour projects and examine how pontoon design can support safer operations, improve efficiency and increase flexibility in how waterfront infrastructure is used.

The company will once again showcase its involvement in Living Seawalls, an initiative that introduces ecological features to coastal infrastructure.

Jess Allen, a PhD student at the University of Plymouth, will present Greening the Grey at Stand B9 on Tuesday 10 June at 4pm. The session will explore how eco-engineered marine infrastructure can support biodiversity in coastal environments and will include updates on recent Living Seawalls developments.

Inland and Coastal is the exclusive manufacturer of Living Seawalls panels in the UK and Ireland. The modular habitat panels are produced using reclaimed waste material from the company’s pontoon and breakwater manufacturing processes to create additional habitat on coastal structures.

“Sustainability is becoming an increasingly important consideration across the marine sector, and Living Seawalls is a fantastic example of how engineering and ecology can work together,” says Jamie Twamley, environmental sustainability engineer at Inland and Coastal. “We’re proud to support initiatives that not only protect and enhance coastal infrastructure but also contribute positively to marine biodiversity.”

Visitors to Seawork 2026 can meet the Inland and Coastal team at Stand B9 to discuss commercial pontoon systems, floating structures and upcoming marine infrastructure projects.

Networking drinks will follow both presentations on Tuesday and Wednesday afternoon.
