Sector
Electricity networks
Electricity work leaves no room for guesswork underground. We carry out the civils for low- and medium-voltage cable routes, from trial holes and trenching to duct formations, joint bays and pillar bases, to the network operator’s specification and safety rules.
What clients need
What this work demands
- Ducts laid to the specified formation, depth and cover, and proved before backfill
