Land Drainage Systems and Installation

"White Horse Contractors Limited installed the pre and post construction land drainage scheme to the Chalgrove to East Ilsley and Abingdon IP gas pipelines in a thoroughly professional manner. The company, which was responsible for the design and construction, completed the works to a high standard within budget and on time. An impressive array of modern plant was supported by a suitable experienced workforce and a thoroughly professional management team."

      1. Initial Site Visit

      The first meeting takes place on site and together we will discuss your land drainage requirements. Our discussion will cover any feasibility concerns, technical requirements, and parameters such as timescales and budget.

      2. Design Proposal

      The information and insight gained from the initial site visit will be used to develop a design proposal for your new drainage system.

      The proposal will include first draft drawings to illustrate how the the system will work and outline our construction specifications with estimated costs and timescales. The process gives you the opportunity for comment and revision.

      3. Topographical Survey

      Following client feedback, amendments, and approval we conduct a topographical survey to understand land fall across the site. During the survey we may dig trial holes to investigate the soil type and composition. This will improve our knowledge of water flow rates and trenching requirements.

      4. Formal Quotation

      Following the topographical survey we develop the final drainage design, material specifications, project plan and provide you with a detailed breakdown of costs in our quotation.

      5. Drainage Installation

      White Horse Contractors conduct an ongoing program of investment in specialist plant, machinery, and staff training. Works are carried out by our own in-house team using our wholly owned equipment. With a fleet of modern Mastenbroek trenchers we have the resource and capability to overcome any unforeseen obstacles and ensure that your project remains on schedule.

      Our Health & Safety Manager will create a dedicated H&S plan for your project and logistics will be carefully planned before site mobilisation commences.

      We will keep you you up to date with progress throughout the project and when the works are complete, we will rapidly de-mobilise the site and ensure the safe and efficient removal of all machinery and equipment before comprehensively tidying the site.

      Our in-house site surveyor will then conduct a final record survey of the drainage installation and provide you with a final 'as-built' plan of the works.
