Marine & Coastal Engineering Design
with Integrated Licencing Expertise
TILT Engineering & Design delivers technically robust marine and coastal engineering design, supported by clear, practical expertise in MMO licencing, PLA River Works Licences and marine consents, delivered by Chartered Engineers.
Projects that require regulatory approvals? We help design marine and coastal infrastructure and navigate MMO licencing and PLA consents — so your project doesn’t stall.
Engineering design that stands up to regulatory scrutiny
Marine and coastal projects succeed when engineering design, construction methodology and regulatory requirements are aligned from the outset.
TILT Engineering & Design provides marine and coastal engineering design, feasibility and technical advisory services for ports, developers and asset owners.
We are particularly well known for projects where licencing, consent and regulator engagement are critical to delivery.
Clients often involve us where:
Design decisions affect licensing risk
Works are below the high water mark
Assets sit within operational or sensitive marine environments
Programmes are constrained by regulatory approval
Our services
Marine & Coastal Engineering Design
The core of what we do.
Engineering design, assessment and advisory services for marine and coastal assets, delivered with a clear understanding of constructability, programme and regulatory constraints.
Includes:
Ports, harbours and marine infrastructure
Coastal and riverine assets
In-water and intertidal works
Asset assessment, repair and modification
MMO Licensing & Marine Consents (Design-led support)
Licensing support that works with your engineering, not against it.
We support MMO licence applications, variations and amendments where engineering scope, methodology and programme need to align with regulatory approval.
Supporting complex marine projects across the UK
Our work includes:
Engineering design for marine and coastal assets
Support for MMO marine licences and variations
River Works Licence advice for the tidal Thames
Coordination of marine consents alongside design development
Technical input to regulator discussions
River Works Licences & PLA Consent
Specialist support for works in the tidal Thames.
We advise on River Works Licence requirements and coordinate PLA and MMO consents for design-led projects in the Port of London.
Why clients choose TILT
Clients work with TILT because we combine strong engineering judgement with an unusually clear understanding of how projects are approved and regulated.
Marine and coastal engineering specialists
Design-led approach grounded in real construction constraints
Strong understanding of MMO and PLA requirements
Ability to anticipate licensing issues during design development
Clear, proportionate advice that protects programme and cost
