Civil Engineering and Groundworks – Complete Services
Building Strong Foundations for Construction Across Somerset and the South West
At the heart of every successful construction project lies two key elements: expert civil engineering and professional groundworks. At TWL Groundworks Ltd, based in Weston-super-Mare, we provide a comprehensive range of services covering both fields, ensuring that every project we undertake is structurally sound, safely delivered, and built to last.
Whether you're planning a residential extension, a new build housing project, or a commercial development, our team has the experience, equipment, and qualifications to carry your project from the ground up—all while delivering on time and within budget.
What Is Civil Engineering and Groundworks?
Groundworks refers to the early phase of construction where land is prepared for building. This includes everything from excavation and drainage to foundations and site clearance.
Civil engineering covers a broader scope of infrastructure development, including the design, planning, and execution of systems like drainage, road construction, utility installation, and retaining walls.
Together, these services are essential for ensuring a safe, functional, and long-lasting build.
