Projects by Sector

Manchester Metrolink extension hydroseeding along light rail corridor

Highways, Roads & Rail

Embankment stabilisation and revegetation across the UK's motorway, A-road, bypass and rail network. From M6 Toll and M74 Extension to West Coast Main Line upgrades — rapid vegetation cover that protects earthworks and meets handover deadlines.

Land Restoration

Returning quarries, landfill sites, wind farms and industrial land to productive use. Projects range from 60,000 m² landfill capping at FCC Welbeck to 100+ hectare wind farm restoration at Clyde — turning hostile substrates into stable, vegetated ground.
