"Building Strong Foundations, Every Step of the Way"
WE NOT ONLY PIONEER, BUT ALSO TRANSFORM, SHAPE, AND REFINE NEW TERRITORY.
​
At DHMS Civil's, our expertise in groundwork goes beyond mere excavation. Our highly skilled operatives are proficient in all aspects of essential infrastructure development. From block and beam flooring and earthworks to advanced drainage solutions, retaining structures, and 278 works, we thrive when dealing with dirt, mortar, and machinery.
With our experienced ground-workers, all of whom hold Industry recognised qualifications and receive extensive in-house training, we possess a unique ability to oversee entire groundwork contracts from inception to completion. We specialise in delivering comprehensive infrastructure packages for renowned property builders across the southern region. This includes on-site installations of roads and sewers and recreational areas.
Our work spans both the visible and the concealed realms. Beginning with clearing sites of existing vegetation, we prepare the ground for construction. We meticulously excavate utility trenches and foundations to provide a solid base for each new home. Adhering to the latest site drawings and quality controls, we ensure that our craftsmanship is executed safely and accurately.
Our groundwork plays a crucial role in establishing safe, structurally sound, and comfortable homes for our clients. Therefore, we spare no effort in investing in state-of-the-art machinery to efficiently and securely complete the job to the highest specifications. We conduct regular safety audits of our work sites and assign an on-site foreman to uphold the exceptional quality standards we demand in all our ongoing projects.

Groundworks and Engineering Services
We encompass a range of activities related to the initial stages of construction projects and the preparation of the site for further development. Here are some common services that fall under groundworks and engineering:
Site investigation & Survey
Drainage Systems
This involves assessing the site's topography, soil conditions, and other relevant factors to determine the feasibility of construction and inform the design process.
​
installing drainage systems to manage surface water and prevent flooding. This may include the installation of drainage pipes, soakaways, retention ponds, or other drainage structures.
Retaining Walls
& Structures
Landscaping &
External Works
Utilities Installation
Laying the groundwork for utilities infrastructure, including water supply lines, sewage systems, electrical cables, gas lines, and telecommunications networks. This involves coordination with utility providers and compliance with relevant regulations.
Temporary Works
& Ground Remediation
Constructing retaining walls or structures to support and stabilize slopes, embankments, or excavations. These structures are designed to prevent soil erosion, landslides, or collapse.
We prepare the ground and laying the surfaces for roads, driveways, footpaths, or other paved areas. This may involve laying asphalt, concrete, or other materials and ensuring proper grading and compaction.
Undertaking landscaping activities to enhance the aesthetics and functionality of the site. This can include installing fences, pathways, planting trees, creating green spaces, or implementing drainage solutions.
Designing and installing temporary structures, such as scaffolding, shoring systems, or access platforms, to facilitate construction activities and ensure worker safety. We manage and mitigate any existing contamination or environmental issues on the site, such as soil remediation, groundwater treatment, or removal of hazardous materials.
Excavation & Earthworks
Foundation Construction
This includes digging and shaping the ground to create the desired levels, contours, and foundations for the construction project. It may involve the removal or addition of soil and the use of heavy machinery
Building the foundations that provide stability and support for structures. This can involve various techniques, such as strip foundations, raft foundations, or pile foundations, depending on the soil conditions and building requirements.
