With a comprehensive range of services including worksite enabling, groundwork investigation, site clearances, and more, we are your go-to experts for all things groundworks in Dover and throughout South East England.

Worksite Enabling

Before any construction can begin, it’s crucial to prepare the site properly. Our worksite enabling services include everything necessary to get your site ready for construction. This involves setting up access routes, ensuring all health and safety measures are in place, and clearing any obstacles that might hinder the construction process. By taking care of these preliminary steps, we ensure a smooth start to your project.

Groundwork Investigation

Understanding the ground conditions is vital to avoid any unexpected issues during construction. Our groundwork investigation services involve detailed assessments of the soil and subsoil conditions. This allows us to design and implement the most suitable foundation solutions, ensuring stability and longevity for your project.

Site Clearances

A clean and clear site is essential for efficient construction. We handle all aspects of site clearance, including the removal of debris, vegetation, and any existing structures. Our team ensures that the site is completely cleared and ready for the next phase of your project, providing a clean slate for construction.

Installation of Footings / Over-sites

The installation of footings and over-sites is a critical part of the groundwork process. Footings provide the necessary support for the foundation of your building, while over-sites ensure a level surface for the construction. Our experienced team uses the latest techniques and materials to install robust footings and over-sites, setting the stage for a durable and stable structure.

Temporary / Permanent Drainage

Proper drainage is essential to prevent water-related issues that can compromise the integrity of your building. We design and install both temporary and permanent drainage systems that effectively manage water flow around your site. This includes the installation of drainage pipes, culverts, and other necessary infrastructure to ensure optimal water management.

Cabling / Utilities Ducting

Modern buildings require a range of utilities, including electricity, water, gas, and telecommunications. Our cabling and utilities ducting services ensure that all necessary utilities are properly installed and integrated into your project. We work with precision and care to ensure that these vital components are correctly placed and protected.

Retainment

Retaining structures are often necessary to manage changes in ground elevation and to prevent soil erosion. We design and construct a variety of retaining structures, including retaining walls, embankments, and other solutions tailored to your specific needs. Our retainment services help maintain the structural integrity of your site, ensuring safety and stability.

Basement Construction

For projects that require additional underground space, our basement construction services offer a reliable solution. We handle all aspects of basement construction, from excavation to waterproofing, ensuring that your basement is functional, safe, and dry. Whether you need extra storage space or a full basement living area, we have the expertise to deliver.

The final touch to any groundwork project is the surfacing work. This includes the installation of driveways, pathways, and other surface finishes that enhance the usability and aesthetic appeal of your site.
