Groundworks Phases

Depending on the project, the site may need demolition and clearance before your chosen company for groundworks West Midlands will implement the rest of the stages. These include:

1. Ground Analysis

Authorities require a thorough ground investigation before any building project commences. Even if it’s not part of the requirements for getting your building license, groundwork companies West Midlands recommend these small excavations because it can save you from long-term costs.

The ground analysis checks the geological and water content (above and underground), examines the soil condition, and identifies any issues from past land uses. These could include contamination, potential ground movement from old mines, and any buried structures, modern or ancient.

Groundwork analysis gives you an exact idea of the foundations, other measures and treatments required, and an accurate project cost.

2. Site Clearing

During the next phase, JJ Gilleran a groundworks Coventry company will clear the site of debris and topsoil before levelling the ground. The building site may require retaining walls to help hold the ground in place. During site clearing, JJ Gilleran minimises any risks of erosion or contamination, follows the required planning limitations such as tree preservation rules, and secures the site while providing safe construction vehicle access.

3. Substructure Stabilisation

The substructure, which supports the building, is below the damp-proof membrane. Retaining walls, reinforcement membranes, soil nails, and ground and rock anchors are some of the most frequently used ground stabilisation methods.

The next phase in stabilising the structure is laying the foundations. Depending on the type of building and soil composition, deep, shallow, or piled foundations are used, with an infill of loose gravel between them. Some buildings require a basement structure built into the foundation.

Groundworks Coventry provides all these substructure and stabilisation services, including concrete screed subfloors and access trenching for building services.

4. Drainage Systems

Site drainage prevents damage to the completed construction. However, it’s crucial to implement it at the building phase and not worry about it after the project’s completion. JJ Gilleran, groundworks West Midlands, has decades of knowledge of drainage installation.

5. Laying Utility Infrastructure

Water pipes, sewage disposal pipes, gas pipes, internet optic cables, telephone and electricity cables all require groundwork to ensure access. Groundwork companies West Midlands will lay the necessary services for your project.

6. Landscaping

After construction, groundworks West Midlands can prepare the site for landscaping. The reinstatement of the ground for creating car parking, paths, and planted areas may also entail ground levelling or slope creation.
