Excavation

Dug safe, dug accurate.

Excavation for foundations, basements, and services with proper support, dewatering, and services avoidance.

Overview

What We
Deliver

Excavation determines whether everything above it succeeds. Ground conditions in the UK vary enormously, so excavation must be founded on proper investigation and designed to Eurocode 7 (BS EN 1997) with the right factors of safety. We combine geotechnical understanding with plant and method to deliver excavation engineered to carry the loads above it reliably.

Our teams work under CDM 2015 with careful attention to excavation safety, temporary works, and buried services. From dig to backfill, we deliver excavation — set out accurately, constructed correctly, and ready for the structure to follow.

Capabilities

What We Deliver

Ground Investigation

Site and ground investigation informing the excavation design with real data on soils, water, and bearing capacity.
