North Wake Expressway
Vegetation establishment is essential to stabilizing embankments and preserving the work that has gone into grading on any project. Insuring the establishment of a strong root system acts as a preventative measure against erosion.
Vegetation also provides ecological and aesthetic benefits while reducing the need for other conventional anchoring systems.
Carolina Environmental Contracting, Inc. has proven itself as a reliable source for vegetation establishment. We take all the necessary steps to insure the seeding results in a complete establishment of the vegetation.
Case Study: North Wake Expressway section of I-540, NC
In February 2006, the scope of Carolina Environmental Contracting services changed dramatically. Already contracted by Lane Construction to install the temporary silt fence, the tree protection fence, the control access fence and corresponding right of way markers for a new section of I-540, we were asked to take over the seeding contract from a vendor that had failed compliance benchmarks.
This was not the first seeding contract for Carolina Environmental Contracting but it was, at the time, our largest and most important seeding project. We immediately purchased needed equipment, hired additional employees, established new suppliers and developed internal programs to ensure the team's competency for tackling this significant and time-sensitive endeavor.
Carolina Environmental Contracting provided up to 15 employees every day for months at the site to catch up and bring the project back into compliance.
Slopes were stabilized. Ditch lines were matted. Medians were seeded. Temporary mulch was applied to newly cleared and graded areas.
The North Wake Expressway section of I-540 opened to traffic on July 14th, 2007. The grass was up and growing ... and so was the new seeding division of Carolina Environmental Contracting.
