A Bespoke Service For Every Project
There are many different types of civil engineering projects but for each and every project, no matter how large or small, groundworks is essential. For clients in Cambridgeshire, the best groundworks team is on their doorstep.
But what is ‘groundworks’ and why is it essential?
Why is groundworks is essential for Cambridgeshire projects?
Whether it’s a detailed landscaping project, installing drainage in a car park or building a new road or housing estate, the first thing that happens is groundworks.
The land on which projects are built is important. It needs to be stable and not shift when it rains or when the land dries out. It also needs to be free from pollutants and with excellent drainage to prevent slippage and movement.
Before some Cambridgeshire projects start, there may also be buildings, rubble or other detritus that need to be moved. Demolition is part of groundworks, as is site clearance, and those are things that the team at APEC Groundworks can do.
Groundworks services in Cambridgeshire
There are a range of groundwork services that projects and clients may need, such as footings, which are an important part of foundation setting, as well as providing appropriate drainage for the site.
Ducting is part of drainage systems too and is needed in some civil engineering projects. In some construction projects where concrete is being used, the level of the ground will need to be raised and sealed. This is often done with oversite, a layer of concrete that seals the earth from the ground.
As well as foundations, a groundworks team can leave the ground ready for the next stage of the building project by creating driveways and footpaths. Alternatively, they can put these in place at a later stage, to enhance an area that’s already built.

These are just a taste of the groundwork and civil engineering services on offer from APEC Groundworks but as with all civil engineering projects, large or small, it’s important to get customised groundworks services so that you get the results you need to take your project to the next level.
