EXO Engineering

Introducing Exo Engineering, the new sister company of Exo Environmental.

Achieving Biodiversity Net Gain through Ecological Engineering

Since 2014, Exo Environmental has been developing a range of low carbon, environmentally friendly products that protect coastal and marine infrastructure whilst achieving biodiversity net gain. Products range from Eco-Reef scour protection and Eco-Rock Armour coastal defences to Piling Habitats for waterfront infrastructure. Until now, these nature based solutions have been developed by Exo Environmental alongside its environmental consultancy services, on which it has built its reputation among partners and clients. Exo Engineering will take over the development and manufacturing of these innovative products, with renewed focus on commercialisation, scaling up production and targeting new markets.

Progress has begun in earnest, with support from Innovate UK EDGE Taiwan and Canada programmes, as well as the Offshore Wind Growth Partnership (OWGP) to establish Eco-Reef scour protection in the offshore wind industry in domestic markets and abroad. Similarly, interest surrounding Eco-Rock Armour has increased, following successful trials with the Environment Agency as part of the Sustainable and Resilient Coastal Cities (SARCC) project. Exo Engineering will build on this momentum and take advantage of new opportunities arising in the coming years, such as the Environment Bill, due to come into force in 2023, mandating Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) for large infrastructure products.
