The maintenance of watercourses is fundamental in ensuring the effectiveness of any drainage system.

Using a variety of specialist equipment and a skilled and experienced workforce FGS Pilcher Ltd carry out work for local authorities and land owners which includes new cut ditches, ditch cleaning and profiling, weed cutting, tree works and scrub clearance, improvement works for replacement water level control structures, bridges or culverts.

Revetment works for bank stabilisation can be completed using soft landscaping materials which are environmentally friendly or hard landscaping construction materials such as gabions filled with stone, metal sheet piling or plastic piling.

Wetland Restoration

We have undertaken a large project for the RSPB at the Seasalter Levels in Whitstable, Kent, restoring a large part of the wetland area within the levels.

Part of the Climate Change Resilience Project, this grant funded project aimed to restore habitats and boost biodiversity. We used our specialist equipment to create bunds, rills and scrapes as well as de-silting and re-shaping existing waterways. The new features are designed to capture water within the levels and to maximise feeding and breeding spaces for wildlife.

Experience of all aspects of environmental habitat maintenance, working closely with local and national authorities to deliver environmental improvements and conservation schemes.
