Local focus
Working in and around Workington
Former industrial land
Excavation on previously developed ground often meets old slabs, foundations and services. Allowing for that in method and price is more honest than discovering it mid-project.
Commercial hardstanding
Yards, loading areas and turning space built with sub-base and drainage sized for the vehicle loading they actually take.
Coastal exposure
Salt-laden air affects mortar and masonry detailing on any above-ground work associated with the groundworks package.
Workington — common questions
Yes. Yards, hardstanding, turning areas and concrete bases for commercial premises are built with sub-base and drainage appropriate to the vehicle loading involved.
