Former offices to the south of the ERF and weighbridge were demolished to remove above ground structures, decommission minor utilities and decompact\/remove concrete and large stone from 400mm below current ground level.

FGS Agri supplied British Standard compliant top and subsoils to achieve 20-25 cm placed depth, spreading across three groups within the work area. Careful handling was undertaken in sufficiently dry conditions to ensure no damage to the soils from compaction.<\/p>\n<p>A tracked excavator was used to complete the soil placement produced as well as articulated lorries delivering subsoil and topsoil to the site. Soil placement was optimised to ensure the successful growth and development of the soon to be planted woody shrubs, wildflowers and broadleaf trees.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=&#8221;6550&#8243; img_size=&#8221;600&#215;400&#8243; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; style=&#8221;vc_box_rounded&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] The Client Viridor stands out as a prominent player in the waste and recycling landscape of the UK.
