The Clarke Underground team can project manage your underground service installation.
We specialise in all types of underground construction, have a team of approved, competent licensed operators, and a vast array of top of the range machinery to ensure no job is too big or too small. We cover it all, from the initial stages of research and design, through to service location, and installation/replacement of underground services. This also includes our own traffic management services.
We use a state-of-the-art GPR locator prior to engaging in any ground works. This gives us the confidence to ascertain any existing service cabling and ensures we maintain our goal of zero harm – zero strike.
In the most basic sense, we put the pipe in the ground, and aim to do so with as minimal disruption as possible.
