We are an independent #construction#consultancy providing professional #design services. We add value to projects by applying our experience & knowledge in delivering schemes from concept to delivery. https://t.co/8UfVOeCeAQ
Another interesting project from the archives that we designed: #sustainable rock rolls & reinforced turf to protect eroding rail embankment. Cheaper & greener than hard engineered structure! #CivilEngineering
We helped to resolve foul & surface #drainage problems at a large Devon holiday park. Mis-connections, poor maintenance, infiltration and working outside holiday season were just some of the problems to overcome! #CivilEngineering#designs
Need a fence? What you really need is a deadhedge.
It's a barrier made of dead branches stacked between two rows of posts. You feed it with branches, fallen limbs, and woody yard debris. Over a season it becomes denser than most commercial fencing. Over years, the bottom layers compost down and the top gets refilled with whatever you trim that week.
Wrens, robins, and ground-foraging birds nest in the structure. Hedgehogs, field mice, frogs, and toads shelter in the base. Solitary bees, ladybirds, and beetles overwinter in the cavities.
Germany has been planting deadhedges as wildlife corridors since the 1990s. The UK uses them for riverbank restoration.
A wood fence costs thousands of dollars and supports no wildlife. A deadhedge costs nothing, gets denser every year, and provides habitat for dozens of species you want in your yard anyway.
You know what I'm sick of? Being labelled 'weird' or 'radical' or 'extreme' for literally just wanting to live in a world where we just bloody leave animals alone.
Isn't it actually the least extreme position to hold to want as little harm and suffering as possible?..
We don't aim to be the cheapest, we aim to do the best quality job at a reasonable price. #CivilEngineering#design services in #Cornwall & beyond. https://t.co/8UfVOeCeAQ
We don't just do building #drainage you know!!! We produced #design options to restore silted up lakes choked with #invasivespecies on a residential complex. This will prevent #flooding & restore valuable #habitat & amenity for the community. #civilengineering
