Innovation
Finding better ways of working for 40 years.
Paving the way
We have always led the way in delivering groundworks more effectively and efficiently. For example, we were one of the first groundworks businesses in the South West to invest in our own fleet of CCTV drainage units. This means we can check the structural integrity of drainage underground, which avoids buildings and roads being disturbed later – saving time and money.
We were also one of the first groundworks businesses in the South West to have our own in-house plant maintenance & support fleet. We can provide a seamless service for clients by fixing any mechanical issues quickly in order to keep the project moving and teams operating safely.
Innovation is at the heart of what we do. We're never afraid to embrace change to drive progress and better outcomes.
Investing in technology
We always invest in new machines featuring the latest technology. For example, our new Hitachi excavators feature a GPS system and tiltrotator hitch. This allows operators to manoeuvre the bucket dynamically, providing fantastic flexibility in use and improved safety due to reduced machine movement.
We regularly test new technologies available within construction to see if they can make projects quicker, safer, easier or cheaper. For example, we developed our own shuttering system for reinforced earth structures, which can help to save our client’s money.
Digital innovation
Paperless
We introduced a digital and paperless system in 2023 for our on-site teams. This improved communication between head office and site teams, and resulted in accurate on-site data and reporting in real time. The paperless system now includes our health & safety team and will soon include all our financial operations.
QR code system for plant & machinery
All our plant and machinery have a unique QR code, so our people can link directly to the operators manuals, safety and service history.
eLearning Platform
Our eLearning platform is managed by our Health & Safety team. The platform ensures everyone in the business can complete and maintain all their required courses online
Collaboration
Our primary objective is to deliver the best possible groundworks for clients. That’s why we often partner with other companies in the industry. For example, we created Groundfix LTD with local groundworks business, Steve Hoskins Construction. This business enables us to work together on large-scale building projects, by providing a local and reliable workforce.
