What Does Enabling Work Entail?
Our tasks can vary depending on the project, but they often encompass a range of activities:
- Site Investigations and Clearance: We meticulously survey the land, identify potential hazards like underground utilities or contaminated soil, and carefully remove any obstacles.
- Demolition and Deconstruction: Sometimes, existing structures need to be removed or stripped down. We ensure this is done safely and responsibly, following strict environmental regulations.
- Earthworks and Ground Improvement: We level the ground, perform excavations, and stabilize the soil if necessary. This ensures a solid foundation for the upcoming construction.
- Access and Security: We create safe access routes for construction vehicles and materials. We also install perimeter fencing and security measures to protect the site and the surrounding area.
The Importance of Getting it Right
While our work might not be as flashy as the final building, it sets the stage for the entire project’s success. By meticulously planning and executing enabling works, we:
- Minimise Risks: We identify and address potential problems early on, preventing costly delays and safety hazards during the main construction phase.
- Optimise Efficiency: A well-prepared site allows construction to flow smoothly, saving time and resources in the long run.
- Protect the Environment: We prioritise responsible waste disposal and adhere to strict environmental regulations, minimising the project’s impact on the surroundings.
