Range refurbishment at Bulford contd.
Following on from our post on 12th March, here’s a few more pictures of our range works at Bulford, just northeast of Amesbury.
The project was to remove contaminated sand and replace with new sand, free of lead and heavy metals. The range is now open and in use.
We had recently won a contract to strip from site 450 tons of hazardous and contaminated sand used as a stop butt on a military firing range. After stopping bullets for years it was time to be replaced with new, along with some timber repairs while we were there.
All done while the ranges either side were live and active!
Our original Facebook post at the beginning of November showed that we were making a number of these. We mentioned the fact that they would be painted cream in and concreted to the ground. But we didn’t get many replies as to what they would be used for, so we thought you’d like to know the answer!
They are in fact timber firing points we installed at Warminster Ranges, all made in-house. And they had to be painted country cream as they didn’t want bright white.
Other projects we’ve undertaken which don’t involve trees or fencing may be found here
Another one for our Everything Else section of the website!
A recent pond refurbishment with 15 years of silt and leaf mould removed. We retained some water and all the fish and then laid a new liner. The pond was then refilled to which we added the retained water to get the microbes started.
To see some more examples of our work which isn’t tree surgery, tree surveys or fencing, please see here.
And now adding a new photograph in June 2019 of what it looks like 6 months later. Really does illustrate the “before and after”…

Cirencester Opportunity Group
Cirencester Opportunity Group is an independent charity providing integrated education for preschool children and support for their families.
M&S supply various foods and undertook to recreate a forest school where the children can learn in the great outdoors. We were delighted to be able to support by creating a hedgehog habitat as it seems there are resident hedgehogs!
