If you’re looking to ensure that a project gets off to the best possible start, enlist the team at Legion Plant Groundworks & Drainage Contractors. A small team of subcontractors with over three decades experience in the industry, we work with domestic, commercial and industrial clients throughout the South East, including Bracknell, Guildford, Hounslow and Kingston, to ensure groundworks are completed to an exceptional standard. Whether you need foundations built for a small home extensions, or complex substructural development for a mammoth commercial site, we urge you to contact us at your earliest convenience to discuss the project.
Ground Investigation – This is a vital part of appraising a site, and involves gathering information about stability and potential hazards, as well as likely past usages. The information gathered by our groundwork contractors will identify any presents defects or issues, e.g contamination or a lack of stability, which then informs subsequent development work including any other form of groundworks which follows on.
Site Clearance – Most sites we visit in and around our core service areas of Bracknell, Guildford, Hounslow and Kingston will need to be cleared up before developmental work begins; this can also include extracting topsoil from the structure’s footprint. Our groundwork contractors will level the site to a pre-determined level, informed by the site survey and ground investigation. This may also involve building retaining walls to create a development platform, ensuring the next stages of a project can be handled safely.
Substructural Work & Ground Stabilisation – This is a broad category of work that’s informed by the needs of the site and development. Perhaps the most typical of substructural work is excavation followed by the construction of foundations appropriate for the development in question. As well as the construction of foundations, it takes in the construction of basement walls, anchors and soft nails. We have a fleet of plant that helps us handle this kind of work within stringent timeframes.
Foundations might be shallow or deep, and are designed to befit the load bearing capacity of surface soils. Our groundwork contractors consider the nature of the load, ground conditions, accessibility requirements, and environmental factors such as the presence of moisture, or surrounding noise and vibrations to ensure the foundations we construct are safe and up to their task.
