Ecological Contracting

In support of our team of environmental consultants and offering services to external clients is our ecological contracting department. Formed by staff qualified in ecology, groundworks and engineering, the team is able to fuse site specific design with innovative green engineering to produce and implement successful mitigation, conservation, habitat creation, restoration and habitat/species translocation schemes. When undertaking ecological contracting projects we aim to impact as little upon the environment as possible and are fully capable of devising practical solutions on the spot to address any unforeseen complications that may arise during the course of the contract.

We can apply this approach to a range of habitats and fauna as follows:
