We replaced 250m for a local client this week erected by Tristan Lenny Warden Gordon Bottomley with help from Tad and Kieran.
And then back to our 19k meters job within the Savernake Forest.
Cattle handling unit at Savernake Forest
New cattle handling unit constructed for the project to reintroduce cattle to Savernake Forest. The handling unit is part of the same fence project as posted before and we are just about to start another pen consisting of 10,000m of fencing!
See our fencing page for details of our other projects.
CAMPAIGN LAUNCHED IN DEVON TO TACKLE ASH DIEBACK
As reported in last week’s CLA newsletter, a new campaign has been launched in Devon to encourage landowners with ash trees on their property to inspect them for Ash dieback.
Devon County Council’s “My tree, my responsibility” campaign, supported by the Devon Ash Dieback Resilience Forum, aims to inform owners of trees to look out for signs of the fungal tree disease and to take any appropriate action in order to maintain public safety.
Moling in water pipes at Manton Downs
Here we ran 800m water pipes 750mm below ground without actually having to dig up the ground. The spinning water pipe feeds into the ground from a leg on the machine and the tractor dictates its direction. All clever stuff.
This is for the same project on Manton Downs as our previous post…
Manton Downs Stud Rail Project
This is an ongoing project running over several months.
Here we show Dave’s video featuring some 3,500m approx of post and stud rail we erected to make the side fence to the racecourse gallops. This took us about 10 days to complete.
We then needed to add a number of 5-bar timber gates and some additional fencing to ensure the horses can be safely secured. You’ll see a couple of the gates we painted white which was in keeping with them being at the side of the gallops.
Horticulture industry urged to check for Oak Processionary Moth Caterpillars
