Our groundworks provision plays a crucial role in road and car park construction; our comprehensive range of services ensure these projects are completed efficiently, safely and to exceptional standards. Our expertise encompasses various stages of the construction process, from initial planning to final surfacing.
We have a team of Project Managers who are highly skilled in a number of areas and who can assist with project planning if required. Our Project Managers are adept at carrying out site surveys, any testing needed, and producing Risk Assessment Method Statements (RAMS) which can then be used to plan the project.
We can provide assistance with site preparation should you require it. This usually involves clearing any existing structures, vegetation and debris. It can also include site surveys and soil testing to understand ground conditions and plan appropriate construction methods.
Excavation is critical for creating the foundation of roads and car parks. We’ll utilise our modern plant such as our Kubota excavators and dump trucks to remove soil and rock, creating a stable base. This phase may also involve grading to ensure the land is level and slopes correctly for drainage.
A strong sub-base is essential for the longevity of roads and car parks. We’ll place layers of aggregate material to create the base and compact them to provide a solid foundation. This process is crucial for distributing loads and preventing future subsidence.
Effective drainage is vital as it ensures longevity and reduces maintenance costs. We can install drainage systems such as trenches, pipes and catch basins to manage surface water effectively.
Once the sub-base and utilities are in place, the surfacing phase begins. This involves laying asphalt or concrete to create the final road or car park surface. Utilising specialist equipment, we’ll ensure that the surfacing is smooth, durable and meets all regulatory standards.
We can assist with any finishing touches such as barriers or curbs, providing customers with an end-to-end solution. Post-construction, we can provide maintenance and repair services if required, ensuring that the road and car park projects we undertake remain in optimal condition.
