Proserve Ltd

Proserve Limited, owned and run by engineers, has over 50 years of experience in the design, supply, and support of fabric formwork systems for the global marine construction market. Founded over 50 years ago by Ernest Cannon, the business is now led by Martin Hawkswood, a Chartered Civil & Structural Engineer, in partnership with his sons George and James. They specialise in fabric-formed concrete, a method involving pumping grout into woven fabric forms placed in their final position.

This technique is used to create concrete mattresses for scour protection, grout bags for foundations, and grout socks for sealing gaps, offering a strong and durable solution for underwater and marine environments. Their expertise spans a wide range of applications, including scour protection for jetties and ports, foundations for bridges and caissons, and revetment protection. Proserve manufactures and supplies from the UK, providing design and installation support worldwide through their team of experienced engineers.

Notable projects include work on the Confederation Bridge in Canada, the MOSE Project in Venice, Port Canaveral in the USA, and Al Faw Grand Port in Iraq, demonstrating their capability in delivering complex marine engineering solutions across diverse international locations.
