Precision groundworks
for engineered foundations.

Subterranean & critical infrastructure groundworks.

GroundVolt Infrastructure delivers high-standard groundworks and civil-engineering services for subterranean food and energy systems, as well as commercial, industrial and infrastructure projects across the UK. We specialise in engineered foundations, deep excavation and critical-path civils where accuracy, sequencing and safety standards matter.

From initial site strip and formation through to concrete, drainage and service runs, we manage the groundworks package as a coherent whole – coordinating plant, people and programme so follow-on trades inherit a clean, accurate, ready-to-build platform.

What We Do

We take projects from first cut to finished formation, delivering a complete groundworks package tailored to the design and the site conditions.

Site strip, excavation & formation – topsoil strip, grading, cut-and-fill, reduced-level digs and formation to engineer's levels.
Reinforced concrete bases & pads – foundations for steel frames, plant plinths, retaining walls, service yards and access platforms.
Drainage & service trenches – foul, surface and attenuation systems, manholes, gullies, plus coordinated trenches for power, water and data.
Power, water & data installations – ducting, draw pits, chambers and service entries ready for specialist installation teams.
Access roads & hardstandings – stone and tarmac build-ups for site access, yards, parking and perimeter routes.
Retaining & bund works – earthworks, bunds and retaining structures where levels, stability and water management matter.

Projects can be delivered as standalone groundworks packages or integrated with wider civil-engineering and infrastructure programmes.

Capability & Tickets

GroundVolt is built around experienced operators and verifiable qualification. We turn up with the right people, the right plant and the right paperwork.

Excavator & dumper certified – CPCS / NPORS operators across 1.5–30t excavators, dumpers and rollers.
Health & safety approved – RAMS, inductions, toolbox talks and site audits as standard practice, not an afterthought.
Quarry & civils experience – backgrounds in quarry operations, earthworks and infrastructure-grade civils.
Owner-operated plant – modern, well-maintained machines with attachments for grading, breaking and lifting.
Detailed method statements – written methods and sequencing for high-risk operations and critical programme stages.
Safety-focused culture – exclusion zones, banksmen, lifting plans and permit systems embedded into daily routines.

Projects & Sectors

Our work ranges from small but complex infill sites to infrastructure-scale excavations. Typical projects include:

Subterranean food and energy facilities and other critical-infrastructure builds.
Foundations and yards for industrial and commercial units.
Deep service corridors, attenuation and drainage upgrades.
Access improvements and perimeter works for logistics and storage.
Enabling works ahead of structural alterations or redevelopments.

Based in the South West, we deploy nationwide where the specification and programme justify the move.

How We Work

We deliver groundworks through a clear and controlled process.

Brief & drawings – we review drawings, ground information and programme to understand the real constraints.
Method & sequencing – a practical method, plant plan and sequence that works on the actual site, not just on paper.
Set-out & control – work to engineer's setting-out, agreed datums and levels so follow-on trades can trust the ground.
Delivery & supervision – hands-on site management, clear lines of communication and daily checks against programme.
Handover & documentation – as-built information, photos and sign-off so the groundworks package closes cleanly.

Why GroundVolt

GroundVolt sits at the overlap between traditional groundworks and future-facing infrastructure. We're comfortable with standard commercial projects, but we're set up for critical-path, engineered foundations where failure isn't an option.
