Pathway and Accessibility Improvements
Improving pedestrian access and creating inclusive pathways is a core aspect of our civil works portfolio. Recent projects have included the removal of existing barriers, excavation and preparation of lower paths and edging, and the installation of retaining walls and edging to define the route. Foundations are built using compacted MOT Type 1 to ensure long-term stability, with new tarmac or block paving providing a smooth, durable surface for pedestrians.
These improvements not only enhance accessibility but also improve safety, particularly in high-traffic areas where footfall includes patients, staff, visitors, or the general public. Reinstatement of fencing, kerbs, and final finishing works complete each pathway project, ensuring a seamless, polished result that meets regulatory standards.
Traffic Management and Safety Upgrades
Efficient traffic flow and safety are critical across healthcare, commercial, and public sites. Construct Building Services has successfully delivered multiple one-way systems, car park upgrades, and pedestrian crossing enhancements. Projects typically involve installing crash barriers, clear signage, line marking for directional guidance and parking bays, and safety features such as Belisha beacons to improve pedestrian visibility.
By carefully planning works to minimize disruption, our teams transform busy areas into safer, more organized environments, reducing congestion and improving the overall user experience.
Protective Infrastructure and Bollard Installation
Enhancing pedestrian safety and controlling vehicle access is another key focus of our groundworks expertise. Our teams regularly install stainless steel crash bollards, reinforced concrete foundations, and kerb modifications to protect both pedestrians and infrastructure. Works often include block paving reinstatement to maintain a seamless finish and careful excavation using excavators and dumpers to manage materials efficiently.
Working on live sites requires meticulous planning and adherence to strict health and safety protocols, ensuring projects are completed safely without compromising daily operations.
