Civils Design & Construction

Infrastruct North designs and builds the civils packages that keep infrastructure sites safe and working: access and walkway systems, foundations and bases, external works and minor civils — delivered by the same company that surveys, monitors and tests your assets.

Because our civils team sits alongside our surveyors and structural testing specialists, every scheme starts from accurate site data and ends with a documented, compliant handover. One team, one point of responsibility, from first measurement to finished works.

What we design and build

• Safe access and walkway systems — including anti-slip GRP composite walkways, steps, edging and handrail
• Car parks, hardstandings and external works
• Foundations, bases and slabs for plant and equipment
• Minor civils packages — ducting, chambers, drainage and reinstatement
• Making-good and repair works following investigation and testing
• Design, temporary works and CDM documentation to support delivery

How we deliver

Design from real site data. Our own surveyors measure the site, levels and constraints first, so schemes are designed from accurate dimensions rather than assumptions.

Build around live operations. We plan works in possessions, weekend shutdowns and out-of-hours windows. At Clapham Depot our four-person team installed 200 metres of composite walkway in a single weekend shutdown — the depot stayed operational throughout.

Hand over documented and compliant. Inspection, records and as-built information come as standard, so the finished works are ready for use — and ready for audit.

Sectors we serve

• Rail — depots, stations and the lineside: RISQS-accredited teams used to possessions, isolations and working alongside an operational railway
• Power — substations and energy networks: safe systems of work for live electrical environments, from access routes to plant bases
• Nuclear — civils packages planned for the sector’s security, permit-to-work and compliance expectations, with the disciplined documentation licensed sites demand

Recent work

At Clapham Depot, we designed and installed 200 metres of anti-slip GRP composite walkway for South Western Railway in a single weekend shutdown — taking a well-used staff route from trip hazard to fully compliant without disrupting a working depot.

At Normanton Station, we delivered the full renewal of the station car park, with works planned around a live station and delivered partly at night.
