What Do Civil Engineering Firms Do?
Civil engineering is ‘a type of engineering involving the design, construction, and maintenance of the physical and naturally built environment’.
Used mainly to describe non-military engineering, civil engineering solves some of society’s problems – it designs and builds bridges to span rivers and estuaries. It designs and builds canals to transport goods, and roads to mobilise the country.
Airports, sewerage systems, railways, pipelines, and the structural parts of buildings are all results of the physical and scientific principles of civil engineering.
In short, civil engineering is creating the world around us and helping us live easier, more comfortable lives.
APEC Groundworks Ltd, based in Suffolk, is a very experienced civil engineering and groundworks contractor with a great reputation for getting the job done.
We’re well known for our friendly service too – and for looking for new and innovative solutions to make the job easier and to save our client’s money. For example, we were recently working on a project near Ipswich in Suffolk, and it involved a substantial road closure.
In these instances, feelings can sometimes run a little high as local people’s lives are disrupted. We had the idea of setting up a specific Facebook page for those affected, so we could answer any questions they may have, and keep them posted with details of the project and how things were progressing.
It proved so popular and worked so well, that the network assurance manager from Suffolk Highways said the following as part of a glowing testimonial - showing we’re a proactive and progressive civil engineering firm, taking full responsibility for the work we carry out.
“…Your idea to create a Facebook page for members of the area affected by the works was a popular tool for everyone to voice their concerns and queries and receive prompt responses directly from Apec Groundworks. Following the success of that Facebook page, we are now promoting this idea to other works promoters carrying out high impact schemes to consider this method of engagement and take responsibility for their works. Thank you for a job well done, I look forward to working with you again on future projects”
We work with domestic clients too, working on extensions and self-builds, from the site clearance, through all the groundworks, and finishing with drains, driveways, roads, and the landscaping too.
If needed, we can project manage the entire operation using trusted top-level tradespeople we know we can rely on to do a fantastic job on your property.
