Steel Piling & Tank Installation

We are well-experienced in providing and installing various types of sheet piles and pile frames. Working to detailed drawings and designs, allows us to carry out these operations in-house. This means that we have control of the works from the inception to completion with the potential for time savings to be achieved on many contracts for the benefit of our clients.

Over the years, changes in legislation have meant a move to much stricter controls on how liquid waste and trade effluent are dealt with. At Darwin Contractors Ltd, we have installed a wide range of tanks and waste water systems. These include:

If you have the need for material segregation or safe routes throughout your working areas, we can provide a number of solutions to accommodate this. We can erect steelwork to form substantial perimeter fencing, safe pedestrian walkways, or bays and bunkers for materials. Dependent upon your requirements, we can utilize steel plates, railway sleepers, etc., to create the most satisfactory solution for your needs.

Drains, Channels & Catchment Pits

Darwin Contractors Ltd has a wealth of experience in underground drainage and surface channels. We can supply and install any of the "off the shelf" type drainage systems or construct a more bespoke system using surface channels of the required size and layout. Heavy-duty channels are formed using angled steel sections with plated or grated covers to ensure a smooth flow of water and materials.
