| | SUMO has the tools to solve your ‘sett’ of problems! | |
|
| | Badgers are one of several protected species in the UK. It is against the Protection of Badgers Act 1992 (UK) to damage, destroy or block access to badger setts, as well as cause them any disturbance while they are in their setts.
| |
| | Mapping the entrances of the badger sett can give you a basic understanding of the area occupied, however often a vast network of tunnels and chambers forming a complex underground habitat can extend from anything between 20 - 100 metres.
SUMO can provide you with reassurance that your project will not affect these animals or their habitat through a geophysical survey. This will substantially enhance your understanding with information about the chambers, tunnel layout and the depth of the tunnels.
Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) is ideal for mapping the location and extent of the setts, so let SUMO give you peace of mind that your project won’t fall foul of the law! | |
