With over 30 years’ experience in drainage and civil engineering arena, we manage every stage of the process, from planning and permitting to reinstatement and handover, ensuring technical safety, and environmental compliance throughout the process.
Managing Complex Infrastructure Projects
Our civil engineers and civils crews oversee rising main diversions and repairs as part of broader drainage and groundworks schemes. Each project is delivered in line with client design, CDM 2015 requirements, and the New Roads and Street Works Act (NRSWA). We act as the competent person under CDM for assigned works.
Our drainage groundworks teams coordinate with statutory authorities and water companies to secure the necessary approvals, permits, and inspections. This includes management of S104 and S185 sewer connections, SuDS installations, and flood mitigation systems, all completed with minimal disruption to the surrounding environment and stakeholders.
Safety, Quality, and Environmental Assurance
Safety and quality underline every stage of our civil operations. We prepare and review all RAMS, permits to work, and temporary works designs (BS5975), liaising closely with our Temporary Works Coordinator to maintain structural integrity and compliance. Environmental controls are implemented in line with the Environmental Protection Act 1990 and pollution prevention guidelines, with regular audits ensuring best practice on site.
Skilled Workforce and Cost Control
Every operative within our civils workforce holds the appropriate CSCS, CPCS, NRSWA, and confined space qualifications, ensuring technical competency across all activities. Our site managers oversee subcontractors and suppliers to maintain efficiency and value for money. Budgets, variations, and timescales are closely monitored, with our commercial team supporting accurate cost control and forecasting.
