The reason for this is because having dug down on the pipe, the job is somewhat more complicated than originally assessed. The main reason for this is the high water table, which means we need to continuously de-water the excavation to keep it safe. With this de-watering, it means... Read More »

High Street now OPEN to traffic.

High Street now OPEN to traffic.
