Civil Groundworks

What is Groundwork?

Groundwork is the foundation of any construction project. It involves preparing the site, creating stable foundations, and installing essential infrastructure such as drainage and utilities. Without it, no building or civil engineering project can move forward safely or efficiently.

Groundwork is a broad discipline that prepares sites for safe and efficient construction. It includes site preparation, excavation, foundations, drainage, utilities, and access routes, with road construction and surfacing delivered as part of these works where required. By covering all these elements, groundwork creates a stable platform for infrastructure, utilities, and building projects to move forward successfully.
