Learn more Got it! MENU 15 NOV Electric vehicle trial at our Sheffield facility With road transport accounting for 17% of global emissions, this was a key topic at the COP26 Transport Day this month. At CML, we recognise our role to tackle climate change and reduce carbon emissions within the business. Currently we are trialling a few options of electric commercial vehicles at our Sheffield facility, serving our local sites. The VN5 is modelled on the London black cab and has true zero emissions capability.

MENU BACK TO CASE STUDIES The Soft Option WORK UNDERTAKEN Earthworks & Drainage BRIEF DESCRIPTION CML has over 30 years experience in designing and installing 'soft option' scour protection. This approach is the perfect low impact solution for environmentally sensitive sites. SCROLL TO READ MORE OVERVIEW OF THE WORK COMPLETED The ‘soft option’ for these schemes comprises the use of rock rolls, combined with willow stakes and pre-seeded matting. The rock rolls consist of cobble sized rock fill retained within a high strength polyethylene net, providing a cost effective and flexible solution to scour problems. They accumulate silt due to the small stone size and can be fully vegetated which helps to support native wildlife populations which is not possible with traditional ‘hard’ solutions such as rock armour. The streams and rivers on this contract cover an area from Oxford to Cornwall, with the majority of the projects based in Devon. The work involves a more ‘hands on’ approach for the teams since it uses less machinery, minimising disturbance the existing environment. The soft option provides the perfect low impact solution for these environmentally sensitive sites. SUCCESSES Use of anchored rock-rolls minimises the environmental impact during construction, and will enhance the natural habitat in years to come as well as providing a sound engineering solution.
