What we do
The infrastructure councils and communities rely on
LINX Civil Engineering delivers the roads, drainage and public spaces around and between buildings. For councils, that means highways and drainage infrastructure, car parks and footpaths, and public realm improvements.
The same team carries out groundworks and enabling for public housing and regeneration sites, along with utility trenching, reinstatement and site clearance — the work that has to be right before a building can start.
Because civil engineering sits within the LINX group, a regeneration or housing scheme can move from enabling works to the build without changing contractor.
