Nova Civils
Foundations, slabs and external works for industrial sites.
What Nova Civils covers
Nova Civils delivers the groundworks and reinforced concrete packages that support our lifting and steel projects — foundations, machine bases, slabs, drainage and external works, self-delivered with directly employed teams.
Civils underpins everything that comes next — if the slab isn't flat, the steel won't plumb; if the machine base isn't right, the machine won't run. We deliver groundworks packages knowing exactly what the follow-on trades need, because we are usually the follow-on trades too.
Our scope covers cut-and-fill, drainage, formwork, rebar fixing, concrete placement and finishing, alongside external works such as hardstandings, kerbs and ducting.
