What does a Groundworks Contractor actually do?
That’s a great question. We actually do so many things during the course of a construction project – usually being the first people onto the site to take care of the site clearance in preparation for the rest of the project to start.
Just like a painter gets the best finish when the preparation is done properly, the construction team will get the best finish when their site is properly cleared before commencement.
Site Clearance
Site clearance involves the removal of vegetation, trees, and general waste, and also metal, timber, tarmac, concrete, and any other building materials that could be in the way of the upcoming job.
We can also dispose of hazardous materials and contaminated soil and waste – we’re currently completing a domestic job where a home heating fuel pipe was accidentally cut during the removal of some hedges.
The kerosene spread quickly, and further than anticipated. We ended up having to remove 300 tonnes of contaminated spoil from the area, and replace it with clean earth.
Other Groundworks
After a site has been cleared the Groundworks services include foundations and footing ready for the brickwork, oversites, digging drains, and ducting.
At APEC we’re Anglian Water approved contractors, so we can install all the water connections and certify them after installation, making things faster and easier for our clients.
We then landscape the project, building roads, driveways, doing any slabbing and concreting, and clearing up after the event. No problems, just solutions with APEC – we’re proactive and progressive, with a can-do attitude and a promise to get the job done on time and on budget.
