Small changes can make a big difference in protecting our waterways and the species that depend on them.

🐍 A safe move for one of our slitheriest site visitors!

Before construction got underway on ’s Benacre & Kessingland Flood Management Project, one of our first priorities was protecting the wildlife that calls this area home—including reptiles like this grass snake.

Our specialist ecologists placed temporary “refuge pads” across the site, creating warm, sheltered spots that reptiles naturally gravitate towards. These were checked daily, and any reptiles found were carefully and safely relocated to nearby suitable habitats.

By taking these steps early on, we’re making sure vital flood protection work goes hand-in-hand with caring for the environment. 🌿

It’s all part of our ongoing commitment to protect and enhance the natural surroundings while delivering the project safely.

We’ve been busy in Lowestoft! 👷‍♂️

The team has recently installed a brand new set of steps on behalf of East Suffolk Council , helping to improve access and safety for the local community.

Projects like this may seem small, but they make a big difference to everyday access.

Great to see another practical improvement completed! 🙌
