GROUNDWORKS
Groundworks that give your surface a strong start.
Preparation, drainage adjustments and reinstatement for roads, car parks and access routes across Scotland and Northern England. Bring the work below the surface into the plan from the outset.
Plan the essentials
Site preparation
Formation and sub-base
Kerbs and edges
Drainage interfaces
BUILD FROM THE GROUND UP
A good finish starts with good preparation.
Levels, ground condition and water management influence how a finished surface performs. Groundworks help create a suitable foundation before the asphalt is laid.
Macrete can discuss the preparation and associated works needed for your surfacing project, whether you are creating a new paved area or renewing an existing one.
THE SCOPE
The supporting works your site needs.
Preparation & excavation
Removing unsuitable material and preparing the formation to suit the agreed construction and site conditions.
Sub-base & edges
Preparing support layers and discussing kerbs, edging and transitions between new and existing surfaces.
Drainage & reinstatement
Considering drainage levels, ironwork and disturbed areas alongside the surfacing scope.
A PRACTICAL APPROACH
Coordinate the groundwork and the finish.
Tell us about the proposed use, design levels and other trades involved. We will discuss the scope and sequence before the work begins.
01 / Share the site information
Send drawings, photographs, the postcode and any available specification.
02 / Review levels and conditions
Identify preparation needs, drainage interfaces and access constraints.
03 / Agree the sequence
Coordinate groundwork, associated works and the surfacing programme.
USEFUL ANSWERS
Before you enquire.
Can you prepare a site before surfacing?
Yes, we can discuss preparation and associated groundworks as part of the proposed surfacing project. The scope depends on site conditions and the design.
Can drainage be included?
Include drainage issues and drawings in your enquiry. We will discuss adjustments and any specialist design requirements before agreeing the works.
What should I send for a quote?
The site postcode, approximate area, current photographs, drawings and proposed use are a useful starting point.
Do you work on existing surfaces?
We can discuss preparation and reinstatement for existing roads, yards and car parks as well as new paved areas.
