Digging up a public road to lay or repair drainage is always a logistical headache. You are not just dealing with hard tarmac and deep dirt. You have got traffic management, strict council inspectors, and a tangled mess of existing gas and electric lines to avoid. M91 Civils Ltd handles the full process for sewers highways in Medway, taking care of the actual street works and the red tape that comes with them.
Working inside an adopted highway takes a different mindset than standard site groundworks. Medway Council and local highways teams do not give out road opening permits lightly, and one mistake on trench support or traffic flow can pause a job instantly. Based in Sheerness, our team knows the local carriageway setups well. We take care of deep trenching, pipe fitting, and making sure the tarmac goes back down to exact highway specs so the road stays solid under heavy traffic.
Any contractor breaking ground in the road needs proper NRSWA accreditation, otherwise the local authority will shut the site down before the first digger bucket hits the ground. We handle the paperwork side first, including Section 50 licences and planning temporary traffic lights or lane closures.
Out on the road, our groundworkers dig safely around live utilities to lay adopted-standard pipes, drop in heavy concrete gullies, and build manholes that can handle constant traffic loads.
Once everything underground is inspected and passed, we backfill and resurface the carriageway back to HAUC standards, avoiding any settlement issues down the line.
