Crossing a watercourse
Foundation design to suit the ground and the hydraulic regime, construction of the structure — bridge, box culvert or pipe — and tie-in to the existing roads, keeping traffic running where that is required.
Activities
Civil engineering and structures
The works that carry, span and retain: bridges, culverts, retaining structures and reinforced concrete, sized to last and built to good practice.
Our scope
What we build
The list below sets out the structures and works covered by this discipline. Quantities, construction methods and programme are settled case by case, once the documents and the site constraints have been assessed.
We work as main contractor, on a single package, as a subcontractor to other firms, or within a joint venture.
Scope

- Concrete repair and structural strengthening
- Underpinning
In practice
Situations we handle
Retaining a slope on a constrained site
A retaining wall or stabilisation works designed for the real earth pressures, built in an urban or tight setting, with drainage and movement monitoring during construction.
Refurbishing an ageing structure
Survey of the existing works, repair of degraded concrete, treatment of reinforcement, structural strengthening and waterproofing — usually without taking the structure fully out of use.
Around delivery
What comes with every project
Engineering and methods
Take-off, construction methods, phasing drawings and a detailed programme before the first bucket of earth is moved.
Plant and mobilisation
Plant, transport and specialist equipment sized to the job and committed within the stated timescale.
Safety and quality
Prevention plan, inspection at hold points and traceability of testing throughout construction.
How we work
The six stages from first enquiry to the end of the warranty period.
