Groundworks Contractors in Canterbury & the South East of England | Eastchurch Construction
Groundworks is a catch-all term referring to all preparatory or enabling works carried out before further stages of development can be undertaken. And that’s exactly what Eastchurch Construction, as groundworks contractors for the Canterbury, Faversham, Maidstone, Rainham, Rochester and Sittingbourne areas seeks to accomplish – the perfect preparation of a site through the careful use of appropriate plant and machinery, and technical knowhow.
Our pre-contracts team would love to hear from you, whether you’re a corporate client in need of a long-term partner to carry out a series of excavations and build high quality foundations, or you’re a sole trader who seeks assistance with unearthing and altering drain systems. In the past, we’ve worked with some of the UK’s most prestigious builders, including Carillion and Kier – so we’re also used to working alongside other companies in the Canterbury, Faversham, Maidstone, Rainham, Rochester and Sittingbourne areas to achieve a common goal.
Groundworks Services
Enabling Works – A general term that also covers some of the below services. These are any works that are required before a development continues, such as:
- Installing perimeter fencing
- Clearing a site
- Constructing access routes
- Putting up safety signage
- Any and all requisite groundworks
Site Clearances – Following extensive work on a particular site, you may be left with a great deal of muck and rubbish that needs to be disposed of. But this can take a great deal of time, especially if you’re handling it by hand without the assistance of appropriate plant. Eastchurch Construction can quickly clear a site, safely and to all relevant regulatory standards. This gives you a clean, blank slate and allows you to quickly move on to the next phase of development without incident.
Excavation & Muck-away – We excavate sites in and around the areas of Canterbury, Faversham, Maidstone, Rainham, Rochester and Sittingbourne, using diggers, dumpers and hand-operated machinery to make short work of even the most demanding undertakings. Careful surveys ensure any underground utility infrastructure is avoided, and our groundworks contractors abide by a strict health and safety code of conduct at all times. Prompt muckaway delivers you the excavated site ready for whatever it is that comes next!
Foundations & Underpinning – The importance of methodically constructing foundations, or underpinning a structure which is compromised or unsound, cannot be understated. In each case, a detailed survey needs to reveal the type and depth of foundations or supports that should be employed. Choose professional groundworks contractors to ensure subsequent work can proceed safely, and the structure will be a secure one not at risk of collapse or similar issues down the line.
Roads, Drainage & Utilities – If you need to access utilities under a road, or access your drain infrastructure, we can help you do so. Our team can also make alterations to drain systems, or construct by-roads from scratch, handling each phase from initial contact, to hand over. Likewise, if you need electrical lines or plumbing systems laid by time served professionals – Eastchurch Construction is the team for the job.
