Since early 2007, Morrison Construction has been working with Thurlow Countryside Management (TCM) to treat and eradicate a range of invasive species as part of enabling works on the North Olympic Park.

By establishing a partnership approach to the works, the project has benefited from early access to invasive species expertise, which has been utilised at the design and planning stages of the works. An on-site TCM presence has helped to integrate complex invasive species considerations into our construction management. A range of treatment applications from spraying to screening have minimised potential treatment and disposal costs, whilst an accompanying TCM eradication guarantee has ensured piece of mind.

While the project is not yet finished, all work so far has been successfully achieved to a very tight programme – again demonstrating the advantages of collaborative working. Jon Bailey, Corporate Responsibility Manager, Galliford Try
