If you are planning a building project, you will need groundwork services. Groundworks are the first physical steps of construction and ensure your site is properly prepared, with correct foundation installations, drainage installations and other sub-surface provisions. Groundwork contractors can also provide final landscaping services, such as new driveways, to give your property a neat, attractive exterior.
Gibbons Groundworks provides all these services and more in Luton, Milton Keynes and the surrounding areas. From bulk excavation to patios, we take care of all your groundwork needs.
Below, we provide a brief overview of what to expect from the groundworks process:
To work out specific requirements for groundworks, it is important to survey the site and carry out ground/soil investigations. This helps us identify any potential issues and the right type of foundation installation for soil conditions.
Following this, our groundwork contractors will clear the site and carry out any required earthworks, such as bulk excavation and ground levelling. This can include retaining walls.
Once the ground at your Milton Keynes site is prepared, we move onto the installation of substructures and underground utilities.
This involves:
Gibbons Groundworks can construct a range of foundations, ensuring each project gets the most appropriate foundations for the intended structure and ground conditions. We provide foundations for various structures, from new driveways to new builds, and the types we install include strip, trench-fill, raft and piled foundations.
When it comes to drainage, we undertake new system installations, surface and foul water schemes and culvert installations. We can also carry out drain surveys and repairs in the Milton Keynes area.
Following groundworks, above-surface construction can begin.
Some groundwork contractors, such as Gibbons Groundworks, also provide landscaping services. We offer hard landscaping for new and existing properties, delivering stylish, practical exteriors which provide the perfect finishing touch. For new builds, we generally complete landscaping towards the end of the project.
