Base course reinforcement – Onshore enabling works for electrical cable installation, UK
The Moray West Offshore Wind Farm spans approximately 225 square kilometres. This 60-turbine project will contribute 882 megawatts of green energy to the National Grid, enough to supply electricity to about 1.3 million homes, equivalent to 50% of Scottish households.
Base course reinforcement – Haul road & access tracks for installation of HVDC link, UK
The "Shetland Renewable Connections" project intends to connect Shetland's wind farms to the Scottish mainland and the national grid by 2024. A pivotal part of this project is the 22 km connection between the HVDC Converter Station at Kergord and the Grid Supply Point at Gremista.
Bentofix® X – Lining of a balancing pond – HS2 Attenuation Pond – UK
In Warwickshire, just north of Long Itchington Wood, the preparatory operations for this project include the development of a main compound area with office space and welfare facilities, plus storage areas for materials and equipment, and the tunnel being constructed at Long Itchington will enable HS2 trains to pass directly beneath one of the county’s largest areas of ancient woodland. The area is protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act, and measures to avoid loss of the woodland were developed in consultation with Natural England.
Secugrid®, Combigrid® – Haul Road & Compounds for Onshore Wind Farm – UK
A new 15-turbine onshore wind farm is under construction in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland. Located between Dalmellington and Carsphairn, it’s estimated that the 67MW Benbrack Wind Farm will provide sufficient electricity to power 70,000 homes when full commercial operation is achieved in the summer of 2024.
Combigrid® – Construction of access road across a flood zone – Redlands Farm Solar Park, Somerset, UK
The project design incorporates solar panels sited on tall posts to ensure the site maintains normal levels of operation – even in times of flooding. Essential to the project was the construction of almost 1,000 metres of unbound access roads.
Combigrid® – Temporary Haul Road – Dogger Bank, UK
Facilitating the onshore activities for this project would require the construction of over 17 miles of temporary haul roads across the Yorkshire countryside and, although temporary, construction of the roadways was required to be nothing less than substantial.
Secutex® Green – Temporary use of a biodegradable separation and filter nonwoven
The Wilhelm-Wisser-Schule (WWS) in Eutin, Germany, is bursting at the seams. For this reason, the school is planned to be expanded into a three and a half form entry school for around 550 pupils over the next few years. However, lessons will continue. As an alternative location, an interim school for the WWS will be set up on the fairground for around two years ....
Combigrid® – Base course reinforcement – Haul Road for Blenheim Lake Restoration – UK
Originally constructed to traverse a wide marshy valley on the approach to Blenheim Palace, Vanbrugh’s 'Grand Bridge' now spans Capability Brown’s 47-hectare water feature, and the stretch of ...
Secugrid® – Repair of flood damage „Leubethaer Street“ in Freiberg – Germany
In May 2018 a storm front hit the Vogtland region in Germany with full force. Up to 150l of rainfall were measured in one hour. In the Adorf district of Freiberg the heavy rainfall caused the greatest damage of the storm. Over a length of 30m the Leubethaer Street was washed away. A culvert located in this area could no longer absorb the enormous quantities of water. This led to a water accumulation within the road embankment. Fine particles of the fill soil were successively washed out and the slope collapsed completely.
Secutex® Green – Renaturation/relocation of the Erft river near Neuss-Gnadental – Germany
The Erft is a southwestern and left tributary of the Rhine, about 107 km long. Its course and water flow have been changed many times since the Middle Ages. In July 2021, some parts of Germany experienced continuous rain and floods, also in the catchment area of the Erft. In many places, the Erft overflowed its banks considerably, for example, in Bad Münstereifel and Erftstadt-Blessem, where - intensified by a rushing current - major damage was caused. Shortly before it flows into the Rhine, the Erft, which has been straightened over the past decades, is to be renatured, and the meandering course of the existing old arms is to be reconnected to the watercourse. This measure is part of the „Lower Erft“ perspective concept. The concept includes the near-natural redesign of the 40km long section of the Erft river from Bergheim to Neuss. Here, the Erft is being adapted to the reduced water flow (about a quarter of today‘s volume) associated with the end of lignite extraction.
Bentofix® X – Water treatment plant in Niger
Millions of people in sub-Saharan Africa have little or no reliable access to clean drinking water. Securing freshwater is a high priority in these regions.
Bentofix® Secudrain® Secugrid® – Storm water retention pond Ziegenschleppe – Germany
To improve the water retention capacity and the flood protection situation in the tributary to the Zwickauer Mulde after the devastating floods on the Mulde and Elbe in 2002, additional water retention areas were created. In the town of Schneeberg on the Schlema, a storm water retention pond was constructed in 2005 with a utilisation volume of approximately 23,400m³. The main components also included an inlet and two outlets as reinforced-concrete structure, an emergency spillway as a rough ramp, 28m of DN 1400 drainage channel and, in addition, the entire mechanical and electrical equipment of the inlet structure.
