Services
Foundation Installation
We install a full range of foundation solutions for complex ground conditions. Our expertise includes mini-piles, rotary bored piles, and driven piles using steel, concrete, or timber materials. We specialise in restricted access sites and foundation upgrades for building extensions or subsidence repairs. Our approach combines technical precision with safety-focused execution.
Slope Stabilisation
Our slope stabilisation services address existing cuttings, rock faces, and embankments. We implement soil nailing, rock bolts, and reinforced earth slopes to enhance stability. We design permanent solutions for engineered slopes in new developments while maintaining environmental considerations throughout the process.
Grouting Solutions
We specialise in pressure grouting techniques to stabilise weak ground conditions. Our services include void filling, permeation grouting, and compensation grouting to reduce settlement risks. Applications range from mine workings remediation to environmental contamination control, always ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements.
Underpinning Works
Our underpinning services reinforce existing foundations affected by subsidence or increased loading requirements. We employ mini-pile installation, reinforced concrete beams, and specialist grouting techniques. We coordinate closely with structural engineers to minimise disruption while restoring foundation integrity.
Environmental Engineering
We provide integrated environmental solutions including river management, habitat restoration, and contaminated land remediation. Our ecological grouting techniques address wildlife burrows and environmental contamination while maintaining regulatory compliance. We also install ground source heat pump systems and manage sustainable drainage solutions.
