A steep embankment stood between the ecologists and their survey. Our rope access team cleared the vegetation at Ocker Hill Substation in a day, giving the construction team safe access.
Birmingham New Street Vegetation Clearance
Vegetation was growing into the overhead line equipment at Birmingham New Street. Our rope access team cleared it in four weeks with minimal disruption to the station.

Making way for a new railway bridge in Birmingham took an excavator with a tree shear and a whole tree chipper. We cleared a large area for Skanska in four weeks.
