Utility reinstatements & trench repairs

After utility companies have installed cables, we reinstate the trenches and restore the tarmac surface. We carry out cable reinstatement across Scotland, with reinstatement and patching examples from Edinburgh, Glasgow and Fife shown below. We also welcome utility-company, council and subcontract enquiries following water, gas, power and fibre-cable works. Send the locations, dimensions, required layers and programme so we can review the package.
