In March 1997, Maslen Environmental were appointed by North Lincolnshire Council to project manage the reclamation and restoration of an 86 hectare contaminated factory site at Barton-upon-Humber. The client was also committed to developing a flagship building within the site; the Visitor and Business Centre; which incorporated the highest standards of sustainable construction. 

Maslen Environmental was involved in several aspects of the scheme, including conducting design development and masterplanning, producing the Environmental Statement, managing the initial consultation activity and undertaking the planning submission for the reclamation and restoration work.

The landscape architects were also appointed as project managers for the Visitor and Business Centre at the centre, which incorporates several climate change adaptation and mitigation measures. These include solar gain, solar shading features, passive ventilation, grey water recycling, biomass boiler, a large-scale car park incorporating sustainable drainage systems (SUDs).
