2. “Who we are”
Who are we
Established in 2008, Davey Civils have grown to become a well-respected
regional contracting business, providing below ground civil engineering
solutions to meet the needs of our customers.
Our knowledge of, temporary works solutions, pipelines & deep drainage
methods, along with the principles of planning, highly experienced staff,
managing and financing ensure we deliver successfully.
We operate in the south east of England on civil engineering projects
predominantly within the water and transport sectors. We focus on exceeding
our client's expectations throughout every step of the construction process
from conception to handover.
OUR STAFF
Our relationship with our staff is the key to the success of our business and
accordingly we have built a team with the skills, knowledge, experience and

invest in our staff to ensure they have the required competences to meet the
identified need.
Our Mission:
• Be a strategic partner to top tier contractors

• Selection of installation methodology & appropriate safe systems of works
• Cost saving through design development
• Delivery within the specified time & commercial constraints.
• Quality handover process.
Our clients include Costain/Balfour Beatty/Barhale/BTU working with Southern Water/Thames Water/Highways Agency
5. Sheet Piling
Davey Civils design and install bespoke trench sheet cofferdams both cantilever
or propped systems, utilising fabricated steel or hydraulic framing. The design
process considers the load cases involved in the construction and dismantling of
the cofferdam. From this, we are able to calculate the minimum Sheet
penetrations, bending moments and shear forces to determine the safest and
most cost effective solutions.
We commonly install systems for:
• Underground water attenuation systems
• Pumping Stations
• Below ground structures
• Interceptors
• Pipe installations
Launching/reception shafts
As a vital part of tunnelling and various ‘no dig’ techniques, trench sheeting is an
ideal method of construction for both launch and reception pit excavations.
Replacement of the lower bracing frames with a concrete base not only provides
a perfect working platform but also provides the required headroom to operate
different types of tunnelling equipment for Thrust & Auger Bores.
6. Tunnelling &
Shafts
Davey Civils provides a full package of shaft sinking, pipe jacking and traditional tunnelling
solutions.
We have extensive experience in both modern and traditional methods of tunnelling.
• Traditional Timber Headings
• Pipe Jacking
Timber Headings are being used less and less but in some cases where access is a
problem then they are the only answer. They are constructed using a man made timber
frame to support the hand excavated tunnel. Once the pipe work or ducting has been
installed within the heading then the remaining void is usually filled in using either grout
or concrete. They can be installed in a variety of different strata ranging from dewatered
sand to rock.
Segmental shafts - Davey Civils will sink segmental shafts vary in size from 1.52m up to
25m diameter and to depths up to around 10m. They are constructed using either
underpinning or caisson techniques and can be jacked into position where necessary.
These are installed for a variety of uses including: Jacking and reception pits for tunnels,
storage tanks, pumping stations and manholes.
Deep Excavations - Davey Civils specialise in deep excavations and trench excavation
work. With our fleet of excavators, sheets & frames, coupled with the expertise of our
personnel, we are able to installed cofferdams to a depth of 10m which provide safe
working environments in most types of ground conditions, to allow the construction and
installation of structures and tanks.
