Chevron Green Services and Consultancy working together on vegetation clearance on A27 in Sussex

Chevron Green Services and Consultancy work together on vegetation clearance in Sussex

Published on 26 Apr 2022

Chevron Green Consultancy is often brought in to support infrastructure schemes. Did you know, that quite often, clearing vegetation is not just a case of simply clearing the vegetation?

In areas where an endangered species could be present, an Ecological Clerk of Works (ECoW) also needs to be present. An ECoW is a site-based ecologist who oversees works and provides advice on an appropriate approach for the management of ecological features in the context of environmental legislation and planning policy.

Ecologists from Chevron Green Consultancy were brought in to assist in a highways scheme on the A27 in Sussex. The project ran over several days with Ecologists Sophie Field and Andrea Evans taking it in turns to be on site.

Our Chevron Green Consultancy ECoWs provided a team briefing at the start of the shifts and undertook thorough hand searches ahead of the clearance team. Continuing to direct and supervise the work throughout the vegetation clearance.

On this occasion no dormouse nest or dormice were encountered allowing the clearance works to be completed as planned.

“Chevron Green Consultancy, as part of our strategic supply chain have been working on landscape assessments within our survey programme of the soft estate. These surveys ascertain requirements for specific habitat management, resulting in a valuable data source which will inform effective future resource allocation and asset management. Our innovation in commissioning the surveys and the very high-quality data provided from CGC has been recognised nationally by National Highways as the standard required across all areas and is now the benchmark set for other areas to achieve.”

“Chevron Traffic Management has recently had the pleasure of working alongside Chevron Green Services on the Southwest M&R cyclic maintenance grass cutting works. The benefits this has given us has made a big impact on being able to maximise outputs whilst also collaborating with other works across the network. Having all this in-house has streamlined our processes and allowed us to build even stronger relationships throughout the Group businesses and with our client Ringway. It has been great working with Chevron Green Services, and we look forward to working alongside them for the rest of these works and future works to come.”

JayJay Whitehead, Interim Area Operations Manager, Chevron Traffic Management

“From the offset Chevron Green Services were very professional. At the very first meeting Chevron Green Services reinforced Kier Highways strict stakeholder management policy and offered up assurances to a worried landowner. These assurances were upheld tenfold as the project met its conclusion. National Highways and Kier Highways were very happy with the stakeholder management as well as the quality of the works and agreed that they are happy to continue to work with Chevron Green Services in the future.”

Michael Smith, Project Manager Area 4 Schemes Dept, Kier Highways

“Chevron Green Services were very helpful throughout the scheme. The team undertook the works safely and used appropriate technology (such as robocutters) to eliminate risks where possible. The team were knowledgeable and even managed to easily accommodate vast changes to the scope of works when this was required.”
