One contractor, coordinated delivery
Our Civil Engineering Capabilities
From early site preparation through to roads, drainage and external works, our teams manage the interfaces that keep complex construction programmes moving.
Civil Engineering
Infrastructure, drainage, earthworks, attenuation, retaining structures and adopted works.
Groundworks
Site preparation, foundations, drainage, roads, sewers and external works.
Reinforced Concrete
Foundations, slabs, retaining walls, bases, pits and structural concrete.
Roads & Highways
Road construction, drainage, kerbing, footways and surfacing preparation.
Energy & Communications
Trenching, ducting, chambers and infrastructure for utilities and energy projects.
Bespoke Engineering
Project-specific civil engineering for unusual constraints and specialist installations.

01 / Civil Engineering
Civil Engineering for Complex Infrastructure
We deliver practical civil engineering solutions for residential, commercial, infrastructure and public-sector projects, coordinating below-ground works with the wider construction programme.
Our focus is safe sequencing, buildability and clear responsibility across the package.
- Earthworks and ground improvement
- Deep drainage and adopted sewers
- SuDS and attenuation systems
- Culverts and retaining structures
- Roads and site infrastructure
- Remediation and enabling works

02 / Groundworks
Complete Groundworks Packages
Our groundworks teams support projects from initial site preparation through foundations, drainage and external works, with activities planned around access, follow-on trades and programme priorities.
Packages can be delivered as individual scopes or as part of a wider civil engineering solution.
- Site clearance and preparation
- Bulk earthworks and stabilisation
- Foundations and substructures
- Drainage, roads and sewers
- Slabs and external works
- Kerbs, paving and surfacing preparation

03 / Reinforced Concrete
Reinforced Concrete Construction
Durkan & Sons delivers reinforced and in-situ concrete works as part of integrated groundworks and civil engineering packages.
Construction is coordinated around reinforcement, formwork, concrete supply, inspection requirements and the surrounding site programme.
- Foundations and structural bases
- Concrete slabs and floors
- Retaining walls
- Reinforced structures
- Formwork and reinforcement coordination
- Pits, plinths and specialist concrete

04 / Roads & Highways
Roads, Highways & External Infrastructure
We construct roads, footways and associated highway infrastructure for development and civil engineering projects, coordinating drainage, levels, kerbs and surfacing interfaces.
Our work is planned to maintain access and support the wider site sequence.
- Road construction
- Kerbs and edgings
- Highway drainage
- Footways and paving
- Surfacing preparation and reinstatement
- Highway improvements and interfaces

05 / Energy & Communications
Utility, Energy & Communications Infrastructure
We provide groundworks and civil engineering support for utility networks, communications infrastructure, electric vehicle installations and renewable-energy projects.
Works are delivered around service routes, technical interfaces, access requirements and reinstatement standards.
- Excavation, trenching and ducting
- Power, CATV, telecoms and fibre routes
- Water and gas infrastructure
- Manholes, chambers and joint bays
- Feeder pillars and EV infrastructure
- Renewable-energy civils and reinstatement

06 / Bespoke Engineering
Project-Specific Engineering Solutions
Not every scheme fits a standard scope. We work with clients, designers and specialist contractors to develop practical civil engineering solutions for unusual installations and constrained environments.
The emphasis is on buildability, coordination and a clear understanding of the finished requirement.
- EV charger groundworks
- Concrete plinths and bases
- Signage and advertising structures
- Machinery pits
- Warehouse alterations and conversions
- M&E and fit-out enabling works

How We Manage the Works
Our service is built around the programme, with clear planning and coordination from the initial review through to completion.
Review
Drawings, scope, constraints, access, interfaces and programme requirements are assessed.
Plan
Resources, sequencing, temporary works, logistics and supply requirements are coordinated.
Deliver
Site teams progress the package with visible controls, communication and accountability.
Complete
Quality records, outstanding works and handover requirements are managed methodically.
