Thomson Environmental Consultants announces a series of new contract wins supporting both long-term environmental monitoring and nationally significant infrastructure projects across the UK.
The company has secured several government-backed monitoring programmes, including £1.45 million of landscape scale assessments for long term land use change monitoring. Other projects include coastal habitat change assessment as part of a wider central government monitoring programme, and invasive species monitoring, contributing to surveillance across England.
Thomson has also been commissioned to deliver ecological survey and mitigation services for major infrastructure schemes. These include over £600k of ecological surveys as part of a major road scheme upgrade in the north, and over £300k for habitat and protected species surveys across two nationally significant energy infrastructure projects.
Further contracts include ecological survey and mitigation for a coastal realignment scheme for a national contractor and survey work for a grid electricity upgrade in London together totalling more than £200k.
These infrastructure projects include energy, transport, and flood defence, and many follow large, linear routes. The environmental company has seen strong growth in energy-related schemes in particular, which highlight the increasing demand to modernise the UK’s grid in line with clean energy targets.
To support delivery, Thomson has expanded its team and continues to recruit ecologists and project managers at multiple levels. The company’s recent hires include a project manager in the ecology team to oversee large mitigation projects and a Principal Ecologist in the Birmingham team as part of expanding commitments on major projects.
Daniel Reynolds, Director of Business Development at Thomson Environmental Consultants, comments: “These project wins demonstrate the breadth of our capabilities and our ongoing commitment to delivering high-quality environmental services across multiple sectors, including delivering high-quality monitoring that supports national policy, to scaling up for complex infrastructure schemes across energy, transport and flood resilience.
“The diversity and scale of this work are exciting for our teams and are crucial to our long-term growth. As the UK transitions towards clean energy and climate resilience, we’re proud to be a trusted partner to government bodies and national infrastructure providers alike.”
