Reducing Rehabilitation Risk Through Site-Specific Field Trials
Landloch designs, implements and interprets rehabilitation field trials that provide clear evidence of what works before clients commit to large-scale rehabilitation works.
Our trials combine robust science with practical, on-ground testing to reduce risk and support regulatory approvals, rehabilitation planning and agreed rehabilitation and closure success criteria.
Rehabilitation strategies need to perform under real site conditions. Landloch develops site-specific field trial programs to test rehabilitation options and assess their performance over time.
Our trials can assess soil cover options, soil-rock mixtures, amendments such as gypsum and fertiliser, landform configurations, and seeding or planting strategies. Carefully structured control and treatment plots allow us to measure vegetation establishment and growth, surface condition, runoff and erosion responses, and cover system performance.
Landloch also has greenhouse and outdoor facilities where pot trials can be established and monitored over several months or years.
Data generated through Landloch’s rehabilitation trials can provide the evidence needed to refine rehabilitation strategies and demonstrate whether proposed methods are likely to achieve long-term rehabilitation objectives.
By combining rigorous trial design, quantitative analysis and clear reporting, Landloch helps clients make informed decisions and provides greater confidence that proposed rehabilitation methods will deliver stable, resilient rehabilitated landscapes.
