13 self-delivered activities

From the first survey peg to the last maintenance visit

These are the disciplines we carry out with our own crews, plant and engineers. Nothing critical to programme sits with a subcontractor by default.

Applied across

The same disciplines, ten different sectors

A concrete crew that pours a hospital raft one month is casting a quay-wall capping beam the next. The standards do not change.

Specialist packages

We also deliver single packages for other contractors.

Earthworks, piling, structural steel, asphalt or testing and commissioning — taken on as a standalone subcontract package where a main contractor needs capacity.
