FGS Pilcher were contracted by the RSPB to undertake an island creation project in Burrowes Pit Dungeness. We created four islands which cover an area of approximately 2500m2, forming some of the biggest islands on the lake. The islands are at a height where they will be accessible to birds in any weather and water…
We have undertaken a natural flood management project within ancient woodland along two tributaries to the river Beult, near Shadoxhurst, Kent. The works involved backfilling overly deepened channels, regrading them to create wider and shallower channels, whilst using trees felled from the site to create silt traps and natural barriers. These works helped to slow…
FGS Pilcher have undertaken a large project for the RSPB at the Seasalter Levels in Whitstable, Kent. We restored a large part of the wetland area within the levels. Over the past few years, the levels have been dry especially during the spring when they should be wet. The grant funded project was part of…
We have been undertaking hole drilling in preparation for new orchard trees to be planted. Using our specialist wide track, low ground pressure excavator we were able to travel up the rows leaving no mess or ruts. Using the auger attachment, we had to drill around 20,000 holes for a new section of apple orchard…
Using our specialist long reach machine, we were able to de-silt the ponds and re-shape them.
Following a fire within the bulky waste bay in 2019, it was recognised that the existing facilities at the site were inadequate. With the assistance of Countrystyle, Buckinghamshire Council required a standalone storage facility to meet EA guidance they have set out.
The fire at Stanford Bridge Farm in November 2019 saw the destruction of three cattle buildings. FGS Pilcher undertook construction work to rebuild the barns to ensure the safe housing of the cattle over winter.
FGS Pilcher have undertaken several recent projects for SE Lane and Partners. This included modernising the farm facilities of the dairy herd.
We were tasked to work with Natural England at the Stodmarsh Nature reserve, an internationally important mixture of reed beds, fens, ditches, wet grassland and open water.
We have been undertaking regular work for the Romney Marsh Area Internal Drainage Board (RMAIDB). Our specialist long reach excavator, with weed cutting bucket, enabled us to reach even the deepest of drainage channels with ease.
