A finished deer grid, and everything around it!
This is the entrance to a new woodland creation project: a 120-tonne public road spec deer grid, a bypass for livestock and horse-drawn vehicles, a carriage gate, a pedestrian gate, and the deer fence running away on either side.
All of it was delivered by Taiga Upland. Our groundwork team built the bypass, installed the grid and tarred the approaches. Our fencing team then tied it all into the fence with gates and clean, straight lines. One team, one plan, no gaps between trades.
Road users, walkers and neighbours will pass through here every day, so it had to be right. On time, on budget, safely, and a fitting entrance to a great property.

Before the handwork starts, everything has to be on the hill!
Our next peatland restoration site involves a lot of work done by hand: timber dams, coir logs, geotextile and several hundred tonnes of stone. The ground is far too soft to carry that in by machine without tearing it up, so we're flying it in.
That takes planning. Every load has a mapped drop point next to the dam or gully it's for. Deliveries of timber, coir, geotextile and stone are timed to arrive together, then sorted, weighed and rigged at the pick-up point. Our supervisor runs the lift on the ground and works with the helicopter crew all day.
No tracks across the bog, no mess, and the handwork team can start the day the last load lands.

Rock in, road out!
Our tractors and dump trailers have been hauling stone from one of Forestry and Land Scotland's quarries to a forest road we're building under the FLS civil engineering framework. Well-maintained kit, certified drivers and a site manager with SMSTS keeping the whole operation running as it should.
Quarry work comes with its own rules and its own training. Our appointed Competent Person holds the Level 3 qualification in Geotechnical Knowledge for Quarry Supervision, so the site is run by someone who understands the ground as well as the machines.
Bigger jobs, same standards.
