Are you looking for a construction management company whose wide range of services extends to excavations? At SLK Construction, we excel at all aspects of project management, from the design to the physical build. During the pre-build phase, this involves preparing your site for the proposed structure to come. Our team performs minor and bulk excavations to exact specifications, creating the perfect platform for the groundworks phase.
Operating out of Church Crookham, Fleet, our company covers locations in the neighbouring parts of Hampshire and Surrey. Some of our key service areas include Basingstoke, Farnham and Guildford, to name a few.
SLK Construction has earned a reputation for delivering results on time, within budget and to the highest standards of workmanship. As one of the first onsite services for any job, our excavation work is integral to the success of the projects we complete.
In terms of construction, excavation is the process of digging out earth to create a cavity in the ground. This is typically the starting point for an array of construction and major infrastructure projects, be it the building of houses, schools and office blocks or the laying of roads and railways.
The purpose of our excavation work is to ensure the ground at your site is at the right level for building to start. However, this isn’t always a case of digging down to produce the required results. We often use excavated soil and rock to build up other areas to a new height. Whichever approach we take at your premises, you can rest assured – we achieve a millimetre-precise, meticulously calculated platform for the next step of your project, be it a foundation installation or any other groundworks.
SLK Construction also undertakes specialist bulk excavation for the construction of basements. Projects of this nature are becoming increasingly popular in urban areas, where space is at a premium and planning restrictions make above-ground space creation difficult.
Contact us to schedule an initial, no-obligation consultation with a member of our team. We happily visit locations in Basingstoke, Farnham, Guildford and all surrounding areas.
Broadly speaking, the excavation process covers two main services:
Of course, there is a clear link between these two methods. As such, excavation work has sustainable credentials. Our groundworks team repurposes as much excavated earth as possible when preparing sites for construction. This enables us to reduce the amount of waste your project generates while helping to keep overall costs down.
At SLK Construction, we use our vast project management expertise to calculate the precise volume of earth needed during your job’s excavations and groundworks. In turn, we then work out exactly how we can reuse the earth we have excavated, and where. This has the double benefit of reducing the amount of waste for collection as well as materials you may need to order in.
Needless to say, you can rely on us to arrange for the removal of all spoil from your site in a fast, safe and responsible manner.
When performing minor or bulk excavations, we also adapt our service around the type of soil at your site. Careful calculations underpin the success of our excavations and groundworks, the formulas of which vary with different ground types.
With a full understanding of the ground conditions at your site in Basingstoke, Farnham, Guildford or the neighbouring areas, we keep our excavations moving forward efficiently, free from technical difficulties, delays and disruption.
