At Sjøentreprenøren, we specialise in riprap – a robust and effective method for protecting coastlines, riverbanks, embankments, and structures against the forces of nature. By using carefully selected stone materials, we build solid protective layers that withstand waves, strong water currents, and erosion. This provides lasting security and stability for critical infrastructure, even in the most demanding environments.
Riprap is a recognised method for erosion protection, where stones are laid out to guard against the destructive forces of water. This technique is essential to prevent damage to roads, railways, bridges, and other structures near water. When riprap is done correctly, the risk of landslides and undermining is reduced, which in turn contributes to safe travel and operations.
A clear example of our expertise is the work at Randklev Bridge on the Dovre Line. After the extreme weather event Hans in 2023, which led to the collapse of the bridge in Ringebu municipality, Sjøentreprenøren was central in the reconstruction. We built a new bridge foundation in the river, carried out extensive riprap of 6,000 m² of riverbed, and secured four bridge foundations against erosion – all to ensure stable operations under challenging conditions.
We offer complete solutions within riprap and erosion protection, including dredging and mass handling, construction of protective layers, and securing foundations and structures. All projects are carried out with a focus on safety, quality, and environmental considerations.
With long experience, modern equipment, and competent professionals, we deliver sustainable solutions – often with reuse of materials where possible. With us, you get complete project implementation from planning to completion.
