Midlands Civil Engineering & Plant Hire provides civil engineering services for commercial, industrial, infrastructure and public sector projects across the East Midlands, West Midlands and South Yorkshire. With over 30 years of industry experience, we support developers, principal contractors, local authorities and utility providers with reliable construction solutions delivered safely, efficiently and to programme.
Civil engineering is a broad discipline that encompasses the construction of essential infrastructure, from highways and drainage systems through to reinforced concrete structures and utility installations. Our experienced team works across a wide range of sectors, providing both standalone civil engineering services and complete infrastructure packages tailored to the requirements of each project.
Whether delivering a new access road, installing deep drainage systems, constructing reinforced concrete retaining walls or undertaking utility trenching works, we have the knowledge, workforce and plant to successfully deliver projects ranging from £25,000 to £1 million.
We provide a wide range of civil engineering services to support new developments, infrastructure improvements and construction projects throughout the region.
Our capabilities include:
Reinforced concrete structures
Reinforced concrete walls
Retaining walls
Bridge structures and associated works
Section 278 highway works
Utility trenching and duct installation
Deep drainage systems
Infrastructure drainage
Roads and sewers infrastructure
Earthworks and excavation
Site preparation works
Foundations and substructures
Commercial and industrial infrastructure projects
By offering multiple disciplines under one contractor, we help streamline project delivery, reduce coordination issues and maintain progress across every stage of construction.
Reinforced Concrete Structures
Reinforced concrete remains one of the most widely used construction materials within civil engineering due to its strength, durability and versatility. We deliver reinforced concrete works for a wide variety of infrastructure and development projects, providing robust structures designed to perform for decades.
Our reinforced concrete services include retaining walls, reinforced concrete walls, structural foundations, concrete bases, headwalls and other bespoke concrete structures. Working closely with project teams and engineers, we ensure all works are delivered in accordance with project specifications and construction requirements.
Commercial & Industrial Infrastructure
Our civil engineering services support a diverse range of commercial and industrial developments, including distribution centres, manufacturing facilities, business parks, industrial estates and infrastructure improvement projects.
We understand the importance of programme certainty, site safety and effective communication throughout the construction process. By working collaboratively with clients and project teams, we help ensure projects are delivered on time and to the required specification.
Section 278 Highway Works
We undertake Section 278 (S278) highway works associated with residential, commercial and industrial developments. These works are often required where a development impacts the existing public highway network and improvements are necessary to accommodate increased traffic or provide safe site access.
Typical works include:
Access road construction
Junction improvements
Kerbing and edging
Footways and pedestrian routes
Highway drainage
Road widening schemes
Traffic islands and crossings
Associated infrastructure works
Our team understands the importance of delivering highway works safely while minimising disruption to road users and neighbouring businesses.
Utility Trenching & Infrastructure Installation
Utility infrastructure is a vital component of any development project. We provide utility trenching and excavation services to facilitate the installation of underground services including water, electricity, telecommunications and other utility networks.
From initial excavation through to reinstatement, our team delivers efficient trenching solutions that support both new infrastructure installations and existing network upgrades.

Deep Drainage & Infrastructure Drainage
Drainage systems play a critical role in protecting developments and infrastructure from water-related issues. We install deep drainage and infrastructure drainage systems for commercial, industrial and infrastructure projects, ensuring effective management of both foul and surface water.
Our drainage expertise includes:
Deep drainage installation
Surface water drainage
Foul water drainage
Roads and sewers drainage
Manholes and inspection chambers
Attenuation systems
Culverts
Drainage connections
We work closely with project stakeholders to ensure drainage infrastructure is installed correctly and integrated effectively with wider site works.
Earthworks & Site Preparation
Every successful project begins with thorough site preparation. Our earthworks and excavation services create the foundations for future construction activities, ensuring sites are prepared safely and efficiently before development commences.
Services include bulk excavation, site clearance, formation preparation, foundation excavations, cut and fill operations and general earthmoving works. With access to a range of plant and equipment, we can support projects of varying sizes and complexity.

Frequently Asked Questions
A civil engineering contractor is responsible for constructing and maintaining infrastructure that supports communities, businesses and developments. This can include roads, drainage systems, reinforced concrete structures, utility installations, foundations, retaining walls and other essential infrastructure works.
We undertake a wide range of civil engineering projects for commercial, industrial, infrastructure and public sector clients. Our services include reinforced concrete structures, deep drainage, utility trenching, Section 278 highway works, roads and sewers infrastructure, earthworks and site preparation works.
Yes. We carry out Section 278 (S278) highway works associated with new developments and infrastructure projects. This can include access roads, junction improvements, highway drainage, kerbing, footpaths and other improvements required by the local highway authority.
Reinforced concrete structures combine concrete with steel reinforcement to create strong, durable construction elements capable of supporting significant loads. Common examples include retaining walls, reinforced concrete walls, foundations, headwalls and structural bases.
Utility trenching involves excavating trenches for the installation of underground services such as water, electricity, telecommunications and other utility infrastructure. Once services have been installed, the trenches are backfilled and reinstated in accordance with project requirements.
Deep drainage refers to underground drainage systems installed at significant depths to manage foul water, surface water and stormwater. These systems are commonly used on commercial developments, industrial sites, infrastructure projects and large-scale construction schemes.
Yes. We install both foul water drainage and surface water drainage systems, helping clients create effective drainage networks that safely manage wastewater and rainwater across their developments.
Roads and sewers works involve the construction of infrastructure required to serve new developments. This typically includes access roads, drainage systems, sewer connections, manholes, attenuation systems, kerbing and associated infrastructure.
Yes. We undertake a range of earthworks and site preparation services including excavation, site clearance, formation preparation, foundation excavations, cut and fill operations and general earthmoving works.
We work across a variety of sectors including commercial, industrial, infrastructure, utilities, residential development and public sector projects. Our experience allows us to adapt our services to meet the specific requirements of each project.
Yes. In addition to complete civil engineering packages, we can provide labour and plant only solutions to support principal contractors and project teams where additional resources are required.
