Enhanced On‑Site Support & Quality Assurance Inspections
We provide on‑site, live operational support, carrying out detailed inspections of work methodology and site practices. This includes reviewing:
- Signing, lighting, and guarding
- Excavation techniques
- Reinstatement processes
- Overall reinstatement quality
Our engineers offer expert advice and guidance where required, ensuring each element of the work meets the appropriate standards.
Independent Reinstatement “Sign‑Off” Inspections
In response to client demand, we have introduced a new service providing an independent, professional “sign‑off” inspection of completed civil works. One of our qualified engineers attends site to assess the reinstatement against SROH (Specification for the Reinstatement of Openings in Highways) and HAUC guidelines.
A detailed report is then given to the clients, useful in approving works or releasing final payments to contractors. This ensures that any required remedial work is identified and resolved in advance.
