Reinforced Concrete Construction
We provide comprehensive reinforced concrete construction services for infrastructure projects, including formwork, reinforcement, and concrete pouring. Our expertise covers complex structures like bridges, retaining walls, and water treatment facilities. With advanced planning and execution capabilities, we deliver durable, high-quality concrete solutions that meet exacting engineering standards across the UK.
Precast Installation
Our specialist precast installation service handles off-site manufactured concrete components for rapid on-site assembly. This includes beams, slabs, and structural elements for highways, bridges, and buildings. We ensure precise placement and secure connections using advanced lifting equipment and trained personnel. This method reduces construction time while maintaining exceptional quality and safety standards.
Highway Projects
We deliver complete highway construction solutions including bridges, underpasses, and road structures. Recent projects include the Caernarfon Bypass with 7 bridges and 4 underpasses. Our capabilities cover all aspects from foundations to final surfacing. We work with major contractors to complete complex schemes safely, maintaining traffic flow during construction while meeting strict deadlines and quality requirements.
Rail Infrastructure
Our rail expertise includes bridge construction, track foundations, and station structures. We recently completed the Folly Railway Bridge with 5,000m concrete and 770 tonnes reinforcement. We coordinate works with Network Rail and major contractors to deliver upgrades during possession windows.
