Company to highlight completed marine infrastructure projects and commitment to sustainable waterfront development during Seawork 2026
Inland and Coastal, a specialist in the design, manufacture and installation of commercial pontoons and concrete breakwaters, will return to Seawork 2026 to highlight a range of recent marine infrastructure projects and demonstrate its commitment to sustainable waterfront development.
Exhibiting on Stand B9, Inland and Coastal will highlight a range of recent commercial marine projects and infrastructure innovations. The company will also welcome back Living Seawalls researcher Jess Allen to deliver a sustainability-focused presentation exploring biodiversity enhancement within marine environments.
As one of Europe’s leading commercial marine exhibitions, Seawork provides an ideal platform for Inland and Coastal to connect with ports, harbours, marina operators and marine contractors looking for innovative and practical water access solutions.
Recent standout projects
Among the company’s latest projects being highlighted at the show are the heavy duty pontoon installation at the Port of Milford Haven in Pembrokeshire and self-levelling gangway at X Berth in Guernsey, alongside specialist engineering projects at Banagher Swimming Pool and the award-winning Jeanie Johnston restoration project, both in Ireland, demonstrating the company’s breadth of expertise across commercial, heritage and specialist marine sectors.
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 host a presentation on Wednesday 11 June at 4pm from Stand B9, where he will discuss several recently completed harbour projects and explore how strategic pontoon design can improve safety and operational efficiency, as well as maximising the potential for multifunctional use.
‘Greening the Grey’ with Living Seawalls
Alongside its commercial engineering expertise, Inland and Coastal will once again be showcasing its involvement in the internationally recognised Living Seawalls initiative.
Jess Allen, a PhD Student from the University of Plymouth, will present “Greening the Grey” on Tuesday 10 June at 4pm from Stand B9, exploring how eco-engineered marine infrastructure can help support biodiversity in coastal environments. Her presentation will include updates on recent Living Seawalls developments and insights into how nature-positive design is being integrated into marine engineering projects.
As the exclusive UK & Ireland manufacturer of Living Seawalls panels, Inland and Coastal produces the modular habitat panels using reclaimed waste material from its own pontoon and breakwater manufacturing processes, supporting circular economy principles while helping marine ecosystems thrive on traditionally hard coastal infrastructure.
“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.”
Meet the team at Seawork 2026
Visitors attending Seawork 2026 are invited to visit Inland and Coastal on Stand B9 throughout the exhibition to meet the team, discuss upcoming projects and learn more about the company’s commercial pontoon systems, floating structures and sustainable marine solutions.
Fresh coffee will be available on the stand each day, with the team welcoming customers, partners and visitors for informal discussions throughout the event.
Networking drinks will also follow both presentations on Tuesday and Wednesday afternoon.
