Road Construction

Globe Civil Engineering delivers estate roads, adopted sewers and drainage infrastructure for housing and commercial developments across East Anglia and the Southeast. Our packages are built to adoption standards from the outset - designed around the agreements and approvals that get a development from completion to handover without delay.

For a developer, roads and sewers are where adoption risk lives. Get the standards, the inspections and the paperwork right and the scheme adopts cleanly. Get them wrong and handover stalls. We work to the former.

What we deliver

Our roads and sewers packages cover estate roads built to adoptable standards - sub-base, binder and surface courses, kerb lines, footways and shared surfaces - along with adopted foul and surface water sewers to water authority specification, including connections to existing networks. We install the full drainage infrastructure of gullies, manholes, chambers, attenuation and pumping stations where required, integrate SuDS schemes from design through to handover, and deliver the works aligned to S38, S104 and S278 agreements.

On yards, depots and hardstandings that take heavier punishment than a standard road build up, we can finish in jointless grouted macadam instead of concrete or asphalt.

The detail that matters at procurement

We build to adoption standards throughout, not as an afterthought, so the road and sewer networks pass inspection and adopt without rework. We work to the requirements of Section 38 (road adoption), Section 104 (sewer adoption) and Section 278 (works to the existing highway), coordinating directly with local highways authorities and water undertakers. Formation sign-offs, sub-base compaction testing and staged inspections are documented so the adoption process runs smoothly, and we sequence the roads and drainage around the groundworks, plot construction and the overall site programme.

How we work

Each scheme is delivered against a defined programme and signed off at each stage. We coordinate directly with highways authorities and water undertakers, manage the inspection regime, and keep the records that the adopting bodies require. Works are delivered under site-specific RAMS by trained, certificated operatives.

Accreditations

CHAS, CITB and UK Power Networks accredited. CPCS and NPORS certified operators. All works under site-specific RAMS.

Part of the Globe Group

As part of The Globe Group, our roads and sewers package sits alongside groundworks, scaffolding (Globe Cambridge) and roofing (Globe Roofing). On a multi-package delivery, that means one group coordinating the infrastructure, the substructure and the trades above it - keeping the wider site programme aligned and accountability in one place.
