Groundworks in Wimbledon
We are your A3-corridor partners. Delivering complex basement retrofits and heavy civil engineering to SW19, fully compliant with Merton Council's strict CMS requirements.
London Logistics Expertly Managed
Working in Wimbledon Village or "The Grid" requires military precision. We handle bay suspensions, Red Route licenses, and narrow residential access while keeping your neighbors happy.
The Hill vs. The Grid
SW19 has two distinct geological profiles. Wimbledon Hill and the Village sit on a cap of Bagshot Gravels and Sand. This drains well but requires shuttering or sheet piling during excavation to prevent collapse.
As you descend the hill towards South Wimbledon and The Grid (Southfields), you hit the impermeable London Clay. The boundary between these layers creates a "Spring Line" where groundwater naturally emerges. We design drainage specifically to intercept this flow around your basement shell.
Essential for the sandy soils of the Village. We use silent press piling methods to minimize vibration and noise for your neighbors.
For Victorian terraces in Raynes Park and South Wimbledon, we use traditional mass concrete underpinning to safely deepen foundations in clay.
Merton Basement Compliance
The London Borough of Merton is one of the strictest authorities on basement construction. They require a detailed Construction Method Statement (CMS) and a Basement Impact Assessment before ground is broken. We provide the full technical package.
CMS & CMP
We draft the Construction Management Plans required to prove how we will handle spoil removal, traffic, and noise without disrupting the borough.
Sump & Pump Systems
Dual-pump stations with battery backups are standard in our Wimbledon builds to manage groundwater surge in the spring-line zone.
Conveyor Loading
For mid-terrace properties with no side access, we use high-speed conveyors to move spoil through the hallway directly to waiting grab lorries.
