Promoting Excellence in Civil Engineering

Return to Croome Landscape Park
Having worked for the National Trust on several restoration projects at Capability Brown's Croome Park over the last 10 years, our work has now begun to re instate the Chinese Bridge.

Improvements to the wetland areas and wildlife ponds were completed for the Welney Wetland Trust as part of their planned maintenance works. Working closely with the Client team, a small machine on rubber tracks and extra long reach was used to minimise the impact on the adjacent land.
