Foundations

Footings and Foundations

We have all the equipment, skill sets, and people power required to dig footings and foundations in a range of settings. Our team can ensure that correct depths and structural support is provided when constructing extensions or summer houses for domestic properties. Also, we can assist in providing strong footings for agricultural buildings and commercial properties, as well as carry out all the ground preparation and drainage ahead of construction.

Site Excavation Safety

Safety is our top priority, which is why our team stays up to date with the latest legislation. We adhere to all current health and safety guidelines, are fully insured, and hold all the essential licences for safe operations. All our plant vehicles are well maintained, and our drivers are highly experienced, so you know you are in reliable hands.

At E-Frank Groundwork & Civil Engineering, we understand that minimising excavation isn’t just about sustainability — it’s about delivering practical, cost-effective solutions that keep your project on schedule and in compliance.

Excessive digging can cause serious challenges on site:

Soil instability
Increased disposal costs
Delays from unforeseen ground conditions
Environmental concerns including erosion and groundwater disruption

That’s why we take a strategic approach to reducing the level of dig. Our engineers work closely with your team from the outset to assess ground conditions, design efficiently, and implement low-impact solutions. These may include:

Trenchless construction methods
Prefabricated foundations and modular designs
Reinforced earth systems that work with the terrain, not against it

By reducing dig where possible, we help:

Lower muck-away and reinstatement costs
Speed up programme delivery
Reduce environmental disruption
Minimise health and safety risks on site

We know site managers and project leads in the North West are under pressure to deliver projects that are safe, sustainable and value-driven. That’s exactly where eFrank adds value — through early collaboration, solid engineering, and a can-do attitude that keeps your site moving.
