Road Construction

South West Works provides full road construction services for residential developments, commercial properties, industrial sites and local authorities across Gloucester and the surrounding region. With more than thirty years of experience in civil engineering and surfacing, our team delivers strong, safe and long lasting road structures built to withstand daily traffic, changing weather and long term use. From initial ground preparation to final surfacing, we manage every stage with precision and professionalism.

Road construction requires detailed planning and a clear understanding of the site conditions. Before work begins, we carry out a comprehensive assessment that covers ground stability, drainage needs, access requirements and the intended use of the road. This information allows us to design a structure that will perform reliably and remain stable over many years. By preparing the groundwork correctly, we create a strong foundation that supports the surface layers and prevents future issues.

South West Works handles all stages of road construction, including excavation, sub base installation, kerbing, drainage, binding layers and final surfacing. Each stage is completed using proven techniques and high quality materials chosen for durability and performance. A well built road must be able to cope with traffic pressure, weather changes and water flow, so we ensure every layer is installed to the correct depth and compaction. Proper construction reduces future maintenance needs and extends the life of the surface significantly.

Drainage is a vital part of road construction. Poor drainage can lead to softening of the ground, cracking, potholes and surface deterioration. Our team designs and installs drainage systems that suit the layout and levels of the site, ensuring water flows away from the road efficiently. This includes gullies, channels, pipework and any necessary adjustments to falls and gradients. Effective drainage protects the structure below the surface and contributes to the road’s long term stability.

We work across a wide range of environments, from private developments and farm access roads to commercial estates and public access routes. Each project has unique requirements, so we tailor our methods to suit the traffic load, site layout and expected usage. For residential developments, we create roads that provide safe and smooth access for homeowners. For commercial and industrial areas, we construct surfaces capable of supporting heavy vehicles and continuous operation.

Quality control is a key part of our road construction service. We monitor each stage to ensure the work meets the required standards and that the finished road is safe, level and structurally sound. Our experienced team follows strict safety procedures and maintains a clean working environment throughout the project. We understand the importance of delivering work on schedule, especially when road construction forms part of a larger development plan.
