Penaran, Wales

Four low ground pressure excavators were deployed to return the site back to wet peatland. The dams all recorded by GPS systems located in the machines show the client the exact work done.

Working closely with the client, The Life Project RSPB, our experienced operators worked systematical over the site making sure the project aims were efficiently fulfilled to a high standard.

Our expertise in blocking grips is second to none. Using specially designed machines we are able to reach even the remotes of places and keep above the peat.

The benefit of Grip Blocking to the moorland ….

• Wets the surrounding peat
• Creates unique habitat
• Stops erosion of the peat
• Maintains the carbon store

The grips across this site reached over 110 kilometres, all requiring a systematic approach to successfully dam the water and raise the water table.
