Infrastructure and biodiversity do not have to be at odds with each other. In fact, areas surrounding roads, railways, dikes, bridges and embankments offer many opportunities to strengthen nature. With the right provisions, you can turn infrastructure projects into safe, functional and future-proof habitats for birds, bats, insects and other species. In this product category, you will find Vivara Pro solutions that can be integrated into biodiversity projects around infrastructure, ranging from nesting and roosting features to supporting products for nature-inclusive design.

Infrastructure and nature-inclusive construction

Infrastructure is an essential part of our landscape, but it can also act as a barrier for wildlife. Roads and railways fragment habitats and make it more difficult for species to move safely. By combining infrastructure with biodiversity measures in a smart way, a better balance is created between human use and ecological value.

Vivara Pro supports these types of projects with products suitable for mitigation, compensation and the structural enhancement of biodiversity. Think of solutions for birds, bats and insects that fit within a broader nature-inclusive approach.

Which products are suitable for biodiversity projects around infrastructure?

The products in this category are developed for professional use within infrastructure projects. They help provide fauna with more resting, nesting and shelter opportunities in areas where natural habitats have become scarce.

Wildlife tunnels that allow animals to move safely
Amphibian fencing that protects amphibians from roads
Products that safely guide bats across roads or bridges
Perching posts for birds of prey along roads

Why include biodiversity in infrastructure?

By integrating biodiversity from the design and construction phase, infrastructure becomes more than just a functional network. It can also contribute to ecological connectivity, climate resilience and a more attractive landscape. Green verges, thoughtful design and well-chosen wildlife provisions help species move more easily and find suitable habitats.

This is relevant for clients, developers, contractors, ecologists and governments aiming to create a sustainable outdoor environment with measurable ecological value.

The benefits of infrastructure with biodiversity provisions

Increased habitat for birds, bats and insects
Improved ecological connections between fragmented habitats
Practical implementation of mitigation and compensation measures
A nature-inclusive approach aligned with sustainable area development
Better integration between infrastructure, landscape and ecological goals

Practical application within projects

In infrastructure projects, success depends not only on selecting the right product but also on correct application. Factors such as location, height, orientation, clustering and the combination of provisions largely determine whether a measure will be effective. That is why it is important to integrate biodiversity measures early in the process, ensuring they align with the design, management and use of the area.

Vivara Pro combines specialist knowledge with practical solutions for nature-inclusive construction. Products are developed in collaboration with nature organisations and ecologists and align with guidelines such as BIJ12 knowledge documents. This ensures you choose solutions that are ecologically sound and deliver long-term value.
