Devon County Council appointed PBA Solutions to carry out Japanese knotweed removal in support of the A382 improvement scheme near Stover.

The presence of Japanese knotweed within the works area created a clear risk of spread across the wider construction site, making early intervention essential. Addressing this at the right stage helped reduce programme risk and support progress on a complex, multi-phase infrastructure project.

While the removal formed part of a much larger scheme, the project presented several practical challenges, including constrained access due to large boulders, additional rhizome material identified during excavation, and the presence of another Schedule 9 invasive species.

The case study highlights how resolving invasive species issues early can help reduce risk and support delivery on major infrastructure projects.
