Bulk excavation, reduced level dig, muck away, temporary works and formation, taken from a live site down to a level the following trade can build off. Tonbane runs the dig as a package for developers and main contractors, so setting out, levels and the muck away programme sit with one contractor rather than three.
Excavation to the levels on the drawing, checked against the setting out rather than eyeballed off the kerb. Arisings are segregated on site where there is room to do it and carted where there is not.
Grab and tipper movements booked around the site programme and the local restrictions, with tickets and waste transfer paperwork kept for the file. On tight London plots that scheduling is usually what decides whether the dig runs to programme.
Propping, edge protection and support to the dig designed and installed before anyone works next to a face, with the temporary works design coordinated with your engineer.
Formation trimmed, proof rolled and brought up in crushed stone to the specified thickness, then tested and handed over ready for blinding, membrane or reinforcement.
Mostly developers and main contractors. Tonbane is a subcontract groundworks package rather than a domestic builder, so the usual enquiry is a set of drawings and a tender pack rather than a phone call about a driveway. Send the drawings and a programme and we will price it.
Yes, coordinated with your engineer. Propping and support to an excavation face is designed before we start rather than improvised on the day, and the design and the check paperwork go into the site file.
The recent contracts run from a 375k reinforced concrete slab up to a 1.4m basement package in Ealing, and everything in between. Smaller enabling works get picked up where they sit alongside other work in the same part of London.
By booking it against the site restrictions rather than against our own convenience. Load times, holding areas, wheel wash and the tipping route all get agreed up front, because on a tight plot the grab lorry schedule is what sets the programme, not the machine in the hole.
Yes. Recent work includes packages for Foran Construction, Pocket Living, Graham and Thames Water, and we are happy to put you in touch with the contracts managers who ran them.
Based in Ealing and working across the London boroughs most weeks, with the Bucks and Herts fringe reached on utility and commercial contracts. If your site is on the list below, a look at the drawings is a short conversation away.
