Routes and excavation
Preparing the physical path for electrical, water and gas infrastructure.
- Site enabling works
- Trenching and excavation
- Duct routes
- Utility crossings
- Workfront preparation and access
Utility infrastructure
Civils
The groundworks, routes and structures that allow the utility installation to be delivered and the site to be returned to its agreed finish.
From excavation to reinstatement.
The capability
A clear scope.
Properly connected.
Utility civils must do more than expose the ground. The route, working space, depth, interfaces, protection and finished surface all affect whether the installation can proceed properly.
TMRF’s Civils provision is structured around the utility work that follows: preparing routes and workfronts, forming the required structures, supporting the installation and completing the reinstatement.
Detailed provision
What the scope can include.
Every project is agreed against its design, network, workfront and handover responsibilities.
Utility structures
Forming the structures required around cables, pipework and equipment.
- Joint bays
- Chambers and draw pits
- Equipment bases
- Concrete plinths
- Substation and kiosk bases
Protection and backfill
Closing the route around the installed asset in line with the agreed construction detail.
- Selected backfill
- Compaction
- Marker and protection systems
- Surface preparation
- Coordination around installed services
Reinstatement
Returning the work area to the specified permanent finish.
- Highway and footway reinstatement
- Hardstanding and paved areas
- Soft landscaping preparation
- Final levels and finish
- Close-out of the civils workfront
Project integration
Designed around the workfront.
Route prepared
The excavation, ducts, crossings and access requirements are aligned to the utility design and installation sequence.
Asset supported
Joint bays, chambers, bases and working areas are formed around the equipment and connection method.
Surface completed
Backfill, compaction and permanent reinstatement close the route after the utility work is accepted.
Close-out
Information that travels with the work.
The handover requirement is agreed for the specific package. Depending on the scope, it can include:
- Route and workfront completion
- Compaction or material records where required
- Reinstatement close-out
- Photographic records
- Project-specific as-built information
Straight answers
Common project questions.
Does Civils include reinstatement?
Yes. Reinstatement sits within the Civils provision and can include the agreed highway, footway, hardstanding or soft-surface finish.
Can Civils be coordinated with the electrical package?
Yes. Joint bays, cable routes, substation bases and equipment access can be planned around the electrical installation and jointing sequence.
Can the scope support Water and Gas routes?
Yes. Trenching, crossings, chambers, bases, backfill and reinstatement can be coordinated around the relevant utility design and installation method.
Does TMRF provide designs?
The delivery scope is built around the approved project information. Any design responsibility is defined specifically at enquiry stage rather than assumed.
