Our work
Public realm, highways and commercial schemes delivered in live town and city centres across the North West. Our work is measured by how the stone looks after a few winters of footfall, not on the day we hand it over.
Blackburn
Civils and specialist granite paving
Our first contract as a company, awarded in 2014 for four weeks of work. It ran for two years and covered the civils and the specialist paving in granite materials. It is the job that built Foster Civil Engineering into what it is today.
Bolton
Paving, kerbing and footway construction
Pedestrian streets rebuilt in natural stone with new kerb lines, drainage falls and access crossings, phased so that shops and businesses stayed open and reachable throughout the works.
Blackpool
Large format paving and hard landscaping
Large format paving, edgings and hard landscaping in an exposed coastal setting, where levels, drainage and bedding detail have to stand up to weather that finds every weak joint.
North West
Retaining structures, stone facing and drainage
Reinforced retaining structures built alongside a live watercourse, faced in coursed natural stone and tied into new surface water drainage. Working over water means restricted access, hand laid stone and a build sequence that keeps the channel clear at every stage.
Everyday work in progress, photographed by our own gangs on site.
Most of our work today is for the national housebuilders, on new housing developments across the North West. We also work as a specialist subcontractor to main contractors on civils and public realm schemes. Either way, the gangs and plant on site are ours.
