Underground Utility Installation and Diversion — North West
Peter Cunningham Groundworks installs and diverts underground utility infrastructure for developers, main contractors and utility companies across the North West. We excavate, lay, bed and backfill utility ducts, service routes and cable protection systems to the correct specifications, coordinating with utility providers and site programmes to avoid delays.
Safe, Coordinated Utility Works
Underground utility works require careful coordination with the utility companies and strict adherence to safety procedures. Our teams are trained in safe excavation near existing services and work in full compliance with HSG47 (Avoiding Danger from Underground Services) on every project. We use CAT and Genny detection equipment on all sites before any ground is broken.
