Responding to construction challenges

Piled Foundations with Ground Beams

Unstable sub-strata frequently require thorough knowledge of specialist piling techniques, including: driven pre-cast concrete, driven steel tube, CFA and insitu pad and beam.

Reinforced Concrete

The recent increase in the use of Reinforced Concrete structures for underground parking has seen our expertise in formwork & proprietary tanking systems come to the fore.

Roads and Sewers

Large housing sites deem necessary large attenuation schemes, down to small estates with small numbers of houses.

New Roads and Streetworks Act, 1991

Sewer connections and associated road-works covered by the Act also often feature on major contracts.

Ground Contamination

Japanese Knotweed, chemical contamination and ground gas remediation are among the toughest of tough challenges that the construction industry consistently throws up.

But, whilst meeting strict schedules for transporting, say, high levels of contamination to specialist tips, or periodically dealing with Radon gas, adherence to Health & Safety In The Workplace regulations is always ensured.

Dealing professionally, quickly and cost-effectively with all contamination problems is – reassuringly – constantly coupled with commonsense and good practice.

Existing Watercourse

Special safety equipment protected site workers operating alongside a dangerous mill-race when a bank stabilisation project required the insertion of sheet piles.

Tailored rescue equipment was also on hand throughout the project, which involved preventing water reaching both refurbished buildings and new terraced homes.

Bulk Muck Shift

Logistical and local challenges are regularly overcome, whether removing from large sites, limited access or minimising impact on busy trunk roads in major conurbations.
