What Are Enabling Works?

Enabling works prepare the site so main construction can start on programme. They include access roads, temporary drainage, fencing, hoardings and temporary services. During groundworks, drainage installation often follows — for permanent drainage connections, specialist drainage contractors such as those at mainlinedrains.co.uk can handle the installation once the groundworks are ready.
