Services
Sewer Pipeline Installation
We install underground sewer pipelines using precision engineering techniques. Our projects involve pipe diameters ranging from 225mm to 900mm, with associated manhole construction and embankment protection. We utilise materials like weholite pipes, rip-rap rocks, and sandbags to ensure long-term stability and environmental compliance. Our expertise covers challenging ground conditions and complex logistics, delivering durable drainage solutions for utility providers across the UK.
Embankment Repair
We specialise in riverbank and embankment stabilisation using sustainable methods. Our solutions include rock armour, Reno mattresses, and Rock Bags made from recycled polyester. These systems prevent erosion while supporting aquatic ecosystems. We implement temporary caps with geomembranes and French drain systems where required, ensuring long-term protection for infrastructure and the environment in sensitive riverbank locations.
Vacuum Excavation
Our vacuum excavator units provide safe, precise excavation for utility projects. This method reduces risks when working near unknown services like water mains. Available for day-rate hire or contract works, the equipment enables efficient, non-mechanical digging that protects existing infrastructure while ensuring site safety and compliance with utility regulations.
Retaining Wall Construction
We construct precast concrete retaining walls for wastewater treatment sites. Our installations include protective membranes and structural supports to prevent seepage. Recent projects feature 1.5m-high wall sections with integrated water barriers, combining precision engineering with environmental compliance to create durable, leak-proof containment solutions for critical infrastructure.
Emergency Response Works
We provide rapid response to infrastructure emergencies such as damaged CSO pipes. Our solutions include installing temporary pumping systems with acoustic barriers to minimise disruption. We maintain environmental protection protocols during urgent repairs, ensuring hazardous materials do not enter watercourses while restoring network functionality ahead of schedule.
