Excavation and temporary support for the depth the tank needs, planned as temporary works.
Finishing & Specialist
Core coverage
Commercial groundworks and civils packages across London and the South East.
All areas we coverAttenuation and storage tanks, pump stations and interceptors — excavated, bedded, surrounded, connected and commissioned.
A buried tank is not something you want to go back to. Getting it right means the excavation, the bedding, the concrete surround and the connections all treated as one operation, with the manufacturer’s installation requirements followed rather than approximated.
We handle the lot, including the deep excavation and temporary support that the tank depth usually needs, and commission it before backfill closes the job out.

As deep as the design needs. Depth is a temporary works question rather than a limit — the support is designed and checked before we dig.
Where groundwater is present we plan dewatering as part of the works. It is much cheaper to allow for it up front than to discover it with an open hole on site.
Yes. Connections are tested and the system commissioned while everything is still accessible, before backfill closes it out.
Yes, and we will reinstate over it. Cover depth and load class over the tank are set by the manufacturer’s detail and the surfacing specification, and we build to both.
Send the drawings and the manufacturer’s detail. We will come back with a measured price and a start date we can hold.
