Civil Engineering and Groundworks in Cambridgeshire

A local contractor for Cambridgeshire schemes

Ground Utilities Ltd is a civil engineering, groundworks and multi-utility contractor based at Highdrove Farm in Cottenham, north of Cambridge. Our work in the county includes a 25 km 33kV cable route, a 49.9 MW battery storage build, Burwell Solar Farm and an 11kV cable route at the Whittle Laboratory. We also work across the rest of England and Wales.

Civils and groundworks

Our civil construction team takes on schemes from small foundations to full civil structures for power generation and water management, including:

• Earthworks, bulk dig and clearance
• Deep excavations
• Reinforced concrete foundations and structures
• Drainage, interceptor tanks and pumping systems
• Piling and external works

Utilities and cable routes

As a multi-utility contractor we install electrical duct and cabling from 240V to 132kV, fibre duct and cabling, mains sewers and irrigation systems. We hold full NERS approval for cable laying at LV, 11kV, 20kV, 33kV, 66kV and 132kV, and for civil works, with all six distribution network operators, including UK Power Networks (LRQA NERS register).

Where we work

From Cottenham we work across Cambridgeshire, including Cambridge, Ely and Newmarket on the Suffolk border, and on schemes in Essex, Norfolk, London and further afield.

Close by, our Thetford cable route carried dual 33kV circuits and fibre for 6 km from UK Power Networks' Barnham substation, and we built a 33kV cable route at Dunmow in Essex.
