Infrastructure Services

Greenman Environmental Management have been working on the network since 1998 and fully audited by Link Up since 2000.

Major projects have been undertaken, such as the 10 million pound engineering project at Coalpit Heath, South Gloucestershire. Over 4,000t of timber was removed with our forestry equipment, for the first time on the network we used state of the art timber harvesters to process the timber which was sent to be used a paper pulp. Scott Pillinger was the project manager for Network Rail.

We installed the first rock fall catch net fence on the network at St Annes cutting, Bristol with the Paddington – Bristol trains running live throughout. The lead engineer was Tony White of WYG (now working for Network Rail) and the frame work contractor was Dean & Dyball. Andy Crowley (now Amco Rail) was the project manager.

33,000 kilometers of lineside was walked and inspected by our surveyors when we partnered with ADAS and won the tendered bid to survey the complete operational railway. It was the first time the network had been surveyed and a detailed hazard report compiled. A proactive tree management was implemented across the network following the survey data analysis. Dr Neil Strong was the Network Rail project manager.

We have been providing work place solutions for the Water utilities on a call off basis since 1998 and now approved framework contractors we supply a variety of services from site enabling tree work to ecological services, planting and fencing.

We designed and installed the drilled adjustable foundation piles for a new building at Clatworthy Reservoir. The building was manufactured at our workshops as the design was very specific for the bats to use and be monitored. Being sited within a woodland and tree root zones, the initial Wessex Water design was for a reinforced cut and fill slab for the building foundation.

Due to the close proximity of the woodland trees we designed and installed fully adjustable Gewi steel foundation mini piles for the building to be built on. The piles were drilled using our specialist rig with no damage to the woodland environment.

Tim Coldwell from Wessex Water was the structural engineer and Nicola Davies the ecologist.
