Civil engineering in the water sector spans the full range of infrastructure construction — earthworks, reinforced concrete structures, pipeline installation, excavation and reinstatement, reservoir and tank construction, tunnelling, and specialist ground engineering. Most major AMP8 frameworks include dedicated civil engineering lots. Tier 1 civils contractors hold direct relationships with water companies; Tier 2 and Tier 3 specialists subcontract through them. If your business operates in ground engineering, pipelines, structural concrete or site infrastructure, this is the category for you.
