Excavation And Groundwork Contractors

Reading Drain Services Groundwork And Drainage Contractors

What Is Groundwork In Construction?

Groundworks is a term used for the entire process of demolition, clearance and implementation of the fundamental foundations required to prepare a construction site for a new building.

Typically, a groundworks contractor will be the first and last sub-contractors on a site. They will begin by clearing and preparing the site, digging the ground and inserting levels. The second phase usually involves excavation and the concreting of the foundations. Then they will usually be commissioned to install the required drainage system, installing all the new pipes and connecting same to any existing pipe network.

After the building project is completed the groundworkers will return to the site to create the driveways, footpaths and sometimes the roads.
