From survey to handover
Confirm the system with the manufacturer
The survey findings go back to the manufacturer and the client's adviser to confirm the system, its layout and any end details. A fixed written quote follows the free site survey.
Cut and excavate the trench
Paving is lifted and kept for reuse where possible, and a shallow trench is excavated by hand near known services. Where a service sits higher than expected, work stops and the detail is referred back.
Pour, cure and reinstate
Concrete is placed to the specified grade and finish depth, then the surface is rebuilt to match. The line is protected until the specified curing period has passed.

| Covers and sleeves | Stainless, cast or powder-coated covers fitted over the cores to match surrounding street furniture, supplied or approved by the manufacturer. |
| Modular cassette sections | Pre-made sections joined on site, allowing short runs and changes of direction within the manufacturer's tested limits. |
