The company

Safety, quality, environment

On a construction site, safety, quality and respect for the surroundings are not separate headings. They are three symptoms of the same thing: control of delivery.

Safety briefing on site, teams in personal protective equipment

Safety

Prevention before instruction

The great majority of site accidents are not bad luck: they follow a badly prepared situation — a poorly thought-out access, an unshored excavation, a machine manoeuvring without a banksman. Our approach is therefore organisational first.

Every project has a prevention plan drawn up before start-up, identifying the risks specific to that site: traffic, work at height, excavations, working alongside other contractors, proximity of existing services or of the public.

On the ground this translates into simple, non-negotiable rules: personal protective equipment worn at all times, the site signed and barriered, excavations shored, plant and lifting gear inspected, and a safety briefing before any shift involving a particular risk.

Our practices

What this covers

Safety

  • A prevention plan for every project
  • PPE supplied and its use enforced
  • Site signage and barriers
  • Excavations shored and made safe
  • Plant and lifting gear inspected
  • Safety briefing before high-risk shifts

Quality of delivery

  • An inspection plan suited to the works
  • Witnessed hold points respected
  • Testing and sampling at the agreed stages
  • Traceability of materials and suppliers
  • Non-conformities tracked through to closure
  • As-built documentation issued at handover

Environment

  • Management and removal of excavated material
  • Segregation and disposal of site waste
  • Control of noise and dust
  • Protection of soils and watercourses
  • Safe storage of pollutants
  • Reinstatement of the site and its surroundings
Works in sensitive settings. Working in a marine environment, in a watercourse or close to housing carries particular environmental and regulatory constraints. We build them into the engineering at tender stage, rather than discovering them during construction.
