Tim Wilson and our sweeping teams have been out and about with our new tankers and CCTV equipment, making developments and retail sites look as good as new. Whether it's housing developments or industrial estates, our sweeping and tanker services tackle large areas of outside space fast, from the surface to the sewers. Please speak with us this summer and we'll give you 5% off all road sweeping, tanker, and environmental services for the first three months of planned service. ➡️ https://lnkd.in/eeMFauxw #sweeping #jetwashing #cctvsurveys #drainmaintenance #facilitiesmangement #industrialcleaning

July and August fall in the peak season for when developers should obtain ecological appraisals and surveys. Our variety of surveys can support planning applications, clarify any species-specific mitigation, and provide a baseline for #biodiversitynetgain requirements. Please speak to our experts today about various surveys for planning applications, licensing, and consent orders ➡️https://lnkd.in/dM2UqeMW Keep ecology and protected species on your radar and download our free Ecology Calendar ➡️ https://lnkd.in/dD3FYEge

Some highlights of our road-to-rail POS (plant operating service) over the past year. Our POS team has successfully and safely delivered many intricate and challenging vegetation management projects on rail tracks across the UK, using our in-house RRV plant. We were also proud to debut our latest edition to the fleet at Rail Live this year. Our new model will enable us to deliver even more complex tasks for Network Rail, National Highways, and others within the road and rail sector. Please find out more about our expanding POS services and fleet, here ➡️ https://lnkd.in/eGTnQ99v #Infrastrucuture #VegetationManagement #Rail #HighwayMaintenance #RRV #POS

Are you heading out to make the most of the hottest day of the year so far? Please be on the lookout for those potholes. Hot weather can cause cracks in road surfaces to expand or previously repaired surfaces to become sticky and fragile - unless our special formula has been used. Want to know more? Our unique pothole repair solution will get you back to business in as little as 30 minutes and is guaranteed to last. Capture the damage and we’ll fix it. ➡️ https://lnkd.in/exAVfCE4 #PotholeRepairs #LineMarking #AsphaltRepair #CivilWorks Have a safe and sunny Friday

We've joined Project RECCE CIO at the National Memorial Arboretum for their 'Veterans Lead the Way: Employment Seminar'.   As a charity ambassador, Joe Gibbons EngTech, GCES Operations Manager, is sharing his experiences within Ground Control and the different employment opportunities available.   #ProjectRECCE

Heather Goddard, Christopher Chippendale, and eco-warriors from South Green Infant School and Nursery cut the ribbon today, to reveal their #biodiversity and edible garden – the legacy of an award-winning Chelsea Flower Show exhibit. Just weeks after joining local volunteers, staff, and pupils, on a rainy day in Billericay to dig and plant the new wildlife-friendly area, we were delighted to return to the school for the grand opening.  Due to the recent weather, beautiful wildflowers and fresh vegetables have already started to emerge. This spring, Ground Control donated plants, wildflower turf, a fruit tree, and a bug hotel habitat bench, from our Silver-Gilt award-winning Chelsea Flower Show exhibit called ‘Diversity is Queen’ that we created this year in partnership with the Bumblebee Conservation Trust. See more ➡️ https://lnkd.in/e6-3ttwg 'Diversity is Queen' demonstrated the diversity of bumblebee species and the range of habitats and plants that support bees and can be incorporated into the smallest spaces.  It’s wonderful to see its legacy thrive at this nature-conscious school and be cared for by the pupils, the onsite eco-warriors! According to the school headmistress, the pupils think their tomatoes are much tastier than those from the supermarket. So, it looks like this is a great way to encourage healthy eating too! Thank you so much for having us. #RHSChelsea #DiversityIsQueen #HumanNatureAtItsBest Royal Horticultural Society

It’s the middle of #BeesNeedsWeek, which aims to raise awareness of the importance of pollinators and is a great opportunity for us to share an update from Wildfell. Our pollinator project has been running since 2022 with the Bumblebee Conservation Trust, Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew and Plantlife International to test pollinator-specific designs, wildflower mixes, and management techniques. After assessing a baseline of key pollinators and allowing changes to become established, we are now assessing the outcomes to understand what drives positive change and diversity for pollinators. Look out for our Wildfell Pollinator project update!

We're delighted to see Tamae Isomura CMLI Senior Landscape Architect speaking at the Landscape Institute conference 'Digital Practice and Technology for Landscape'.   Tamae will be sharing her experience as a panel member for 'AI and Landscape Practice: Navigating the Future and its Challenges', as well as chairing 'Golden Rules for Landscape BIM Modelling'.   It is great to see Ground Control experts like Tamae sharing their knowledge and looking toward the future of landscaping.   #Tech4Landscape #LandscapeInsititute #Landscaping #BIMModelling
