    "description": "The Lower Thames Crossing (LTC) is a significant infrastructure project designed to address congestion and pollution at the Dartford Crossing, the only road crossing of the River Thames east of London. The project includes the construction of twin-bore tunnels and a dual carriageway linking the M25 at Junctions 28 and 30 to the A2, east of Gravesend.\r\n\r\nThis opportunity focuses on vegetation clearance for the Kent Roads to enable ground investigation works, topographic surveys, and drainage/utility surveys. The works are planned for summer 2025.\r\n\r\nScope of Works:\r\nThe required vegetation clearance includes:\r\n\u2022 Cutting down trees, chipping the wood, and removing chippings from the site.\r\n\u2022 Tree surgery involving the removal of branches from large trees, chipping the wood, and removing chippings from the site.\r\n\u2022 Clearance of ground vegetation through strimming, with strimmed material removed from the site.\r\n\r\nEcological Considerations:\r\nThe works will be subject to checks by ecologists and adherence to ecological constraints, including:\r\n\u2022 Compliance with tree preservation orders.\r\n\u2022 Avoiding bird nesting season and considerations for protected species such as reptiles, great crested newts (GCN), and badgers.\r\n\r\nCompetency Requirements:\r\nAll operatives involved in the works must:\r\n\u2022 Be competent with relevant qualifications and competency cards (e.g., LANTRA/CSCS).\r\n\u2022 Hold a valid Highway Passport.\r\n\r\nAdditional information: Please complete the attached expression of interest attachment accordingly and return to ltc-enquiries@skanska.co.uk.",
