Civil Engineering FAQs

What is civil engineering?

Civil engineering is the construction, repair and improvement of essential infrastructure that people use every day. That includes roads, drainage systems, footpaths, kerbs and groundworks.

We fully manage every step of civil works, from excavating and preparing land to installing drainage, laying sub-bases and installing high-quality surfaces designed to accommodate vehicles and pedestrians.

Well-planned civil engineering projects carried out by an experienced and accredited surfacing contractor create safe, durable and efficient environments for public, commercial or private use.

What types of highway maintenance services do you provide?

We carry out a wide range of highway works, including:

Sub-base preparation
Drainage installation
Kerbing
Footpath construction
Patching and reinstatement
Full road surfacing

Our expert team enhances the results of both routine maintenance and planned improvement projects for councils, contractors and private estates.

Can you manage the full civil works from planning to completion?

Absolutely. Our team takes care of every stage of the process, from assessing your site and advising on the best approach to completing all groundworks, drainage, kerbing and surfacing.

This coordinated approach ensures consistent quality and reduces the delays and complications that can occur when multiple contractors are involved.

Can you repair, upgrade or replace drainage systems as part of civil works?

Yes, we can. Drainage forms the foundation of durable, safe highways and footways. So we routinely integrate these works into surfacing and reconstruction projects to extend the life of your finished surface.

Our team is trained and equipped to install new drainage systems, repair damaged pipework and gullies, or upgrade outdated or undersized drainage. That includes advising you on the best approach to improve flow and prevent flooding while keeping costs as low as possible.

Do you provide ground preparation and sub-base installation?

We carry out all aspects of ground preparation, including:

Excavation
Levelling
Compaction
Installation of correct sub-base layers

Adequate preparation ensures your finished surface is stable, well-drained and capable of handling long-term traffic and weather conditions.

This foundation work is crucial to preventing early failure and maintaining performance. So working with a trusted professional road surfacing contractor like Hazell & Jefferies Ltd is the most cost-effective way to achieve outstanding results.

Is it better to work with a single provider for civil engineering and highway works?

Working with a single contractor removes delays, reduces costs and improves quality control.

With Hazell & Jefferies by your side, you ensure all elements – from drainage and kerbing to resurfacing – are completed by the same team. That means you can have total confidence in a smooth project with a single point of contact.
