Drainage and groundworks on a live site, excavated, re-laid and fully reinstated, with the right paperwork behind it.
Persistent standing water and a failing run of old drainage were causing problems on site. Trial holes revealed the cause, a collapsed, root-bound section that was never going to be patched back to health.
The only proper fix was to dig it out and start again, to the correct depth and falls.
We excavated a deep, shored trench and laid a new twinwall land drain on a clean gravel bed, set to falls and bedded and surrounded correctly so it carries water away for good.
New runs were tied neatly into the existing clay drainage and routed to a soakaway, a system built to outlast everything around it.
With the drainage tested and signed off, the trench was backfilled, compacted in layers and the surface fully reinstated. The site was swept down and handed back clean, fenced, managed and tidy from first day to last.
As with every commercial job, we worked DBS-registered and covered by £10m public liability throughout.
Trial holes located the collapsed run, no guesswork, no unnecessary digging.
Twinwall pipe laid to falls on a gravel bed, surrounded and connected correctly.
Compacted backfill, surface reinstated and the site handed back clean.
