We’re pleased to share that phase two of a large-scale Japanese Knotweed excavation project is now in full swing for one of our clients in the West Midlands.
A strategic, phased approach to Invasive Weed Control
This project was initiated following the identification of a well-established Japanese Knotweed infestation across several zones of the site.
The first phase, which focused on mapping the extent of the rhizome system and conducting initial groundworks, was completed successfully earlier this year.
Now, with the groundwork laid, our team is back on site to carry out the next stage: full excavation and responsible removal of the contaminated soil.
This work is essential to prevent regrowth and ensure that the site is fully remediated and future-proofed.
Why our clients choose us
At Invasive Land Remediation, we pride ourselves on delivering services that are not only effective but also environmentally sound and fully compliant with current legislation.
Every project is tailored to the specific conditions of the site, with measures put in place to:
- Accurately trace and remove rhizome networks
- Prevent spread during excavation
- Minimise disruption to surrounding land and infrastructure
- Maintain health and safety standards at all times
- Protect ecosystems and waterways in accordance with environmental guidance
Our multi-phase strategies are ideal for sites where infestations are extensive, complex, or located near sensitive infrastructure such as buildings, drainage systems, or public access areas.
What makes this project stand out?
This particular site presented a number of logistical challenges, including restricted access, proximity to buildings, and the need to preserve unaffected areas.
Our team worked closely with the client from the outset to devise a phased remediation plan that aligned with their operational needs and budget, while ensuring total control of the invasive plant material.
We’ve also implemented on-site biosecurity protocols to eliminate the risk of cross-contamination to other parts of the site.
