What excavation and sub-base involves
Excavation and sub-base work is the groundwork under a resin surface: digging out the old drive and soft ground, removing the spoil, and building up compacted layers of crushed stone and a binder course that will carry cars without moving.
In Bangor, Gwynedd, the survey for this work is about levels, falls and ground conditions: where water goes now, what is under the surface and how materials will reach the site. Around Bangor, Gwynedd, longer drives and rural access are common, so deliveries and mixing space are planned at survey.
Projects we quote in and around Bangor, Gwynedd include preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb, fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive and setting a channel drain across a garage entrance. More about excavation and sub-base.
