Running a construction site in a busy urban environment is always a challenge, but constructing a 30-metre-deep basement in the middle of one is even harder. Traditional excavation requires space; long-reach excavators can span up to ten metres when fully extended and heaped earth further reduces the limited operational space.

During the month of May at 60 Curzon Street, Careys Civil Engineering teamed with Balfour Beatty and lived our Careys Foundation values by making a difference within local communities. They made a positive impact towards the homeless in their kitchen take over at The Passage, Victoria.

Carey Group’s new Soil Engineering Plant represents a true Group achievement, being made possible through the investment of Careys Plant & Fleet. The Plant is operated under the Seneca Resource Recovery permit, deployed on the Scudder Demolition Ford Dagenham site and managed by the Carey Group materials manager. The plant is capable of remediating all types of material excavated by Careys Civil Engineering.

We’re passionate about the future pioneers of the construction industry and last month saw Careys Civil Engineering devoting time to develop forthcoming young engineers. Members of the team shared valuable knowledge with university students studying built environment courses at the annual Constructionarium event.

Setting a phenomenal example this month, Careys Civil Engineering took on sustainability at Graven Hill, Bicester with a new and intuitive approach, through an ecological awareness training day. It was a fantastic opportunity for the site team and local primary school students to learn about the importance of protecting the surrounding environment, and the unique birds near the project.
