Site Clearance Alloa WGM

At Arbour Services, we recently completed a major site clearance project in Alloa, commissioned by West Glen Machinery (WGM). We were tasked with transforming a heavily overgrown plot into a clean, functional space ready for development. In this case study, we’ll walk you through our approach, showing how our technical skill, local knowledge and attention to sustainability deliver consistent, high-quality results.

Project Overview: Scope & Equipment

The WGM site comprised dense grasses, shrubs and self-seeded saplings encroaching on access roads and storage areas. Our first step was a comprehensive site survey to assess vegetation density, potential hazards (such as hidden stumps or uneven ground) and access limitations.

To ensure the work was both efficient and environmentally sound, we deployed our Robbo Cut & Flail, a highly effective mechanical tool designed for controlled vegetation reduction. Using this specialist equipment, we swiftly cut back brambles and overgrowth, while minimising soil disturbance and preserving desirable root structures where possible.

Technical Expertise and Industry Standards

Our team’s qualifications and adherence to professional standards are central to our credibility and success:

• Qualified Arboricultural Technicians: All operatives hold NPTC qualifications and are trained to BS3998 standards for pruning and tree care. 

• Risk Assessment & Method Statement (RAMS): We prepared detailed RAMS documents, ensuring safety and regulatory compliance throughout the project.

• Sustainability Practices: We mulched cleared vegetation on-site where possible and transported excess to authorised green waste facilities, supporting ecological sensitivity and reducing landfill contributions.

The Result

Thanks to our meticulous process, the site was transformed within just one working day - cleared, flattened and handed back to WGM, completely ready for its next phase of development. The area is now accessible, tidy and visually improved, with base-level preparation completed to specification.
