why choose us?

Working in urban and rural landscapes, our roots lie in building sustainable sports surfaces and facilities. Our expertise is not confined to working within sport – we are involved in water management schemes and the construction of sustainable drainage solutions (SuDS).

We deliver environmental projects alongside our sister company the Environmental Protection Group, and together, we work alongside planners, ecologists and consultants to meet the needs of our clients as we build a greener future.

SuDS – sustainable drainage systems

We are experienced in constructing blue-green infrastructure including blue-green roof installations, rain gardens, swales and natural flood management projects, working with the public and private sectors. SuDS are designed to slow the flow of water and mimic nature, easing the pressure on conventional drainage and helping to mitigate flood risk.

Blue/green roofs

A blue-green roof integrates both stormwater management and green spaces to create a sustainable, eco-friendly solution for urban environments. It helps address challenges related to climate change, water management, and urban heat island effect while offering a wide range of benefits.

SuDS in schools

Schools are experiencing more frequent flooding across the UK, leading to closures, building and property damage, and disrupted learning. SuDS in schools can reduce the risk of flooding, adding green spaces for students and staff members to enjoy. 

What are the benefits of creating environmentally friendly spaces and places?

Engaging a construction contractor who is knowledgeable and thoughtful about a project’s environmental impact and understands how to collaborate with designers, engineers and stakeholders ensures that intended benefits are realised – and not lost between design and construction.

Providing environmentally focused built solutions throughout our towns, cities and countryside provides the following benefits:

  • Improving climate resilience.
  • Improve air quality and water quality – green and blue infrastructure helps to contribute towards reducing air pollution and harmful emissions.
  • Reduce water usage – water efficient systems such as rainwater harvesting reduce water consumption, helping to conserve resources.
  • Reduce energy consumption and costs – projects designed with nature in mind can reduce greenhouse emissions and reduce energy usage in the long term due to not as much maintenance required.
  • Community well-being – sustainable construction focuses on integrating the environment whilst improving the quality of life for residents, pupils and the public.
  • Resilience to climate change – extreme weather events such as flooding, temperature fluctuations and storms are becoming increasingly more regular. By understanding the impact sustainable water and flood management projects have on our climate, we can reduce our footprint dramatically.

Environmental interventions such as raingardens, blue roofs and swales are an essential tool in addressing the challenges of climate change and creating a more sustainable built environment. Please contact us to find out how we can help with your project.
