Services
Aviation Infrastructure
We deliver specialist aviation infrastructure projects including aircraft parking bays, apron construction, and taxiway upgrades. Our team has maintained an approved contractor status with British Airways for over 20 years, completing critical infrastructure at Heathrow and Gatwick airports. With expertise in airside road construction and drainage upgrades, we ensure minimal disruption to airport operations while meeting strict safety and regulatory standards.
Groundworks
Our groundworks division handles earthworks, drainage, and site preparation for complex construction projects. We employ innovative techniques like the Kerblay system for temporary kerb races, preventing damage to permanent infrastructure during construction. This approach saves clients time and money by eliminating the need for later kerb replacements, while maintaining road adoption standards for local authorities.
Civil Engineering
We undertake comprehensive civil engineering projects including road construction, drainage systems, and utility installations. Our experience spans highway improvements for local councils, port facility upgrades, and industrial site developments. With capabilities in reinforced concrete structures and underground services, we deliver durable infrastructure solutions that meet exacting technical specifications and regulatory requirements.
Reinforced Concrete Frames
Our reinforced concrete frame division constructs durable structural frameworks for commercial, industrial, and public buildings. We have completed concrete frame projects for educational institutions, healthcare facilities, and retail developments. Using modern formwork techniques and high-quality materials, we create robust structures that form the backbone of complex construction projects across multiple sectors.
Residential Developments
We deliver residential construction projects ranging from individual housing units to large-scale developments. Our experience includes working with major housebuilders like Shanly Homes and Asprey Homes to create modern residential communities. From site preparation to final construction, we ensure developments meet building regulations while maintaining aesthetic and functional standards required for contemporary housing.
