A few examples of the issues with which FTMINS can deal:
Does it hold water? - Containment landfill sites need to be thoroughly prepared to enable safe landfill of wastes.
Clean and Tidy Quarry Entrance? - Such appearances do not happen by accident!
A cut off the Old Block -
Some workings succeed by
what may seem like chaos!
Good Restoration - Not always for the birds! an essential part of mineral workings
Good Restoration - biodiverse habitats bring bountiful rewards
Thick Sand & Gravel Deposits worked by lowering in designed regular bench faces
Thin Flag Limestone Beds opened by lowering in naturally divided bench faces
Massive Igneous Intrusions Blasted out in Designed Regular Bench Faces
Shallow catchment waters filling the base of excavations often provide transient but fruitful feeding and resting grounds for migrant waterfowl.
Stone - as attractive in the quarry face as it is in the walls built from it 200 years ago
Brick clays weathering and awaiting blending for colour and consistency of product
