60 year restoration across 9 habitats

Overview

The client requested a comprehensive budget covering a 100 ha landfill restoration across 9 habitats over a 60 year period.

Lockhart Garratt produced a concise model in Excel which could easily be altered and extended to cover a range of management scenarios. A suite of standard costs was developed (held in backing sheets) where land sizes and frequency of management could be applied. These fed into a summary header sheet for high and low level intervention. The model then informed negotiations of management intensity within the Restoration & Aftercare Management Plan (RAMP).
