Multi- User Cycle Trails
On behalf of National Trust we installed the new Dragon cycle trail, featuring two routes:
Green Trail: 1.5 km long and perfect for beginners
Blue Trail: 4 km long and more challenging in places
This work included track construction, footbridge installation, car park creation and various landscaping works.

Robert Burns
Birthplace Museum
On behalf of the National Trust for Scotland, we completed phase 1 of their large project.
Using our hydraulic tilt bucket excavator attachment, we have created an irregular shape pond to various specified depths throughout - enhancing both edge habitat and aquatic habitats.
All surrounding land will drain into the pond (acting as a retention pond). Upon reaching the set maximum water level, pond water will drain into the outlet which will run into the woodland for natural soak away. A silt trap has also been installed on the outlet to prevent any blockages.
For an aesthetically pleasing natural effect, two pebble and rock beaches on opposite pond edges, along with viewing jetties are also to be installed.
Various species of submerged and floating aquatics, will be planted on the wetland area and the pond shelf.
