As a fully licensed invasive weeds and contaminated ground removal contractor we understand that remediation costs for industrial areas may be of concern for commercial businesses. Which is why we work with you to provide site specific solutions, using highly efficient methods that are designed to keep your projects flowing. Here’s what you can expect from us:
Public safety is paramount when we’re working on projects in public or open spaces, as we may use chemicals or machinery that are bound by H&S legislation.
Protecting the environment is equally important as we carefully manage what we do on site to ensure biosecurity measures are in place to maintain ecosystem balance.
On this contract we were called in to remove Horsetail infesting an old army barracks site due to be developed by Bloor Homes.
As the site was planned for housing, excavation was the best option as with any rhizomatous plant any fragments of root left behind would generate new plants, leading to issues further down the line either during the build or sales phases.
Environment Controls was contracted to excavate the infested ground removing all contaminated soils and plant material. Find out how we achieved a clean ready fit for its intended development.
