In response to the ever increasing burden on companies to care for the environment, we have developed our own Environmental Management services. This team of highly qualified and experienced staff can provide practical solutions to issues such as European Protected Species, Bats, Badgers, Wildflower Management, Nesting Birds and Aquatic life as well as general advice on how a business can raise its environmental profile. The team are used to support the other parts of Cleartrack in their activities whilst also supplying direct services to clients.
Vegetation management along the railways presents a unique challenge to ensure a safe and effective transport system without compromising the environmental value of the lineside. As 2004 winners of the Network Rail Environmental Award for contractors, Cleartrack operates a comprehensive programme to ensure that the essential vegetation clearance work is carried out with genuine regard for environmental protection and a commitment to the enhancement of lineside biodiversity. Cleartrack’s environmental department has developed detailed policies based on environmental legislation, best practice and consultation with leading conservation organisations to provide positive environmental solutions without compromising the operating requirements of the railway.
Cleartrack’s Environment team supports all departments within the company, working to a common theme facilitating vegetation management and enhancing biodiversity value where possible. We can design vegetation management programmes, ensuring full legislative compliance for protected species such as bats, badgers, birds and newts. We can solve environmental problems and work to protect rare species on development sites, road and rail side, golf courses, waterways and even Sites of Special Scientific Interest.
