Searching for civil engineering and groundworks in Cambridge? With nearly 40 years of experience, Lane & Skillen Ltd successfully deliver projects of all sizes and levels of complexity, including groundwork, construction, and demolition.
As a SMAS-accredited contractor, we provide a full range of civil engineering and groundwork services, such as land grading and levelling, site clearance, foundations, hard landscaping, drainage and ducting, as well as foul water systems and SuDS soakaways.
We understand the importance of trust and reliability, which is why we ensure every project runs seamlessly. From initial preparation through to completion, we carefully manage each stage to deliver a smooth and efficient service.
Foundations are critical for distributing the load of a structure and must be designed and installed to meet the specific requirements of each project. Heavier buildings typically require deeper foundations to be adequately supported.
Before installation, the ground must be excavated. This is carried out using specialist diggers and excavators, enabling the efficient removal of large volumes of soil, rock, and debris. We also include ducting services, which can be used to facilitate new drainage systems as well as other utilities.
Site clearance and hardscaping are among our core services. Proper site preparation is essential before any construction work can begin, including the removal of general waste, tree roots, and other debris. This stage also enables us to assess soil quality and ensure the ground is level.
Our services also include kerbing/kerbworks, muckaway and construction clearance for hardcore, rubble and other inert waste.
Using a combination of manual methods and specialist machinery, our team operates within a 30-mile radius, covering Cambridge and the wider area. As CHAS and SMAS-accredited contractors, we are committed to delivering high-quality site clearance and hardscaping services to support the progress of your project.
