Reduced Level Excavation and Root Barrier Installation

Project category: Invasive Weed Solutions

Project overview

Oliver Brown Ltd carried out reduced level excavation to remove Japanese Knotweed rhizomes from the footprint of a pavement, helping prepare the area for the next stage of works.

What the work involved

The works included targeted excavation, rhizome removal and root barrier installation at formation level. This approach helped manage the affected ground while supporting the construction requirements of the pavement area.

Why it mattered

Excavating around Japanese Knotweed affected areas requires careful planning, controlled handling of material and suitable barrier installation. This reduces the risk of regrowth and helps protect newly formed surfaces from future invasive weed issues.
