Environmental Issues
Of course the very drive towards trenchless working has been heavily influenced by environmental thinking and latterly mountains of regulation.
For Andy and his Operrations Manager, Lawrence Vannan, new regulations have had little effect on the way in which CTB operates as they have both always adopted the highest standards of operation.
For example, CTB have always taken full responsibility for waste disposal on all their contracts – unusual when the norm for main contractors has usually been to take that task on board themselves.
This approach not only gives CTB certainty and control over the environmental issues surrounding slurry but also makes life a lot easier for and provides added protection to the main contractor.
The materials CTB use (the best Bentonite Drilling Additives) are always biodegradable.
One of CTB’s very specialist environmental activities is in tree and tree root protection. With a qualified tree surgeon on the team to provide advice the level of protection they afford to all their principal contractors is as strong as it gets.
